It should look like screenshot 1 except that workspace 1 should be on the opposite side. I also noticed a problem where applications opened on my laptop screen don't have correct scaling on my external monitor which is another thing he spoke of in that blog article. > Second, switching back and forth between dual monitors to one monitor lead to interesting behaviour. For example, I kept losing the scale setting on the lower DPI monitor. exactly that, although it didn't seem to effect GTK3 applications, only Qt5 ones. Thankfully things in Wayland seem a lot simpler! In Sway it's as simple as https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#display-configuration Have to wait for firefox and thunderbird to have Wayland patches before I switch as the fonts were all blurry. For some reason https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-wayland/ is really out of date. This has been a major pain for me. -- Tyler
