Suggestion

can komorebi-bar detect the monitor width dynamically and set the position > end > x from it? I have two monitors with different sizes at home (x=5140) and work (x=3410) and the bar doesn't fit correctly when i switch to another.

Alternatives Considered

i change the width manually when i go to the office.

if using an ahk configuration you can do

CompleteConfiguration()
WinWait("komorebi-bar")
WinMove(0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, 40, "ahk_exe komorebi-bar.exe")

to resize it to screen width and just replace the 40 with the desired height

@CtByte @alex-ds13 I think this is done with the latest config changes, right?

I have "same-size dual-monitor" setup and an issue I had with my 2nd bar disappearing on hot-reload is fixed by #1224
I am not sure if the bars resize auto-magically if you simply put your laptop to sleep and wake it up with different monitors. That might needs a restart.

@LGUG2Z @alex-ds13 There might be a way to detect if the monitor settings change and auto-reload the bars.

@azinsharaf I think you might need to read the PR's description, since you can now remove most of the location and size related settings.

Could you test your setup with the latest? (or just wait for a nightly/full release)

It should be done automatically yes.

For this comment ^ from @CtByte, this might actually be an issue since it would require applying the config again after a monitor change... I'm not sure if we can detect this, but if we can then it should be easy to pass it to the bar like we did with the komorebi reconnect.
