MetroWindow with extended monitors

[clodewyks]

Hi All,

I upgraded to the latest version via Nuget recently and picked up an issue, when working with extended monitors and you have your MetroWindow on your secondary monitor and another app on the primary monitor, when moving focus from the MetroWindow to another app, the MetroWindow changes size, you can see that it is catering for the Taskbar, but there is no Taskbar on the second monitor.

See below:

@clodewyks modify your taskbar and add the propertie hide when you no use

@spiritdead not exactly a good solution as the application is in use by an entire office and going around changing that on each PC is not only an inconvenience to the user but also to the IT department.

hmmm wait better for @Amrykid @flagbug @punker76 :)

Hi All,

Can anyone help with this issue?

[spiritdead]

@clodewyks set autohide the bar, i no have this problem

[clodewyks]

Again, that is not a viable option, as i mentioned above.

@clodewyks Do you think this is the same as #1136 ?

[clodewyks]

@flagbug i'm not sure, my monitors are exactly the same with the same resolution. It seems to happen when the windows loses and regains focus, it does not need to be resized as far as I am concerned.

@clodewyks In my bug, the window doesn't need to be resized either, but it changes the size by itself when it loses focus and regains it

[clodewyks]

@flagbug exactly, and you can see that it is catering for the task bar height. Thus in my opinion, MetroWindow does not support multiple/secondary monitors.

[flagbug]

@clodewyks Yeah, we have constant problems with multi monitor support, I'll definitely look into this. I'll be doing a git bisect and see if I can find which commit introduced this bug, because if I remember correctly, this worked at some point.

@flagbug awesome, thanks a lot for the feedback, at least I know you guys are aware of the issue now.
