fixed-width spotter and dual monitors

Hi,

is there a way to have the spotter window fixed-width, or at least cap the maximum width?

If I use dual monitors (as in I extend the Pharo window over two screens), then the spotter will be about 2000 pixels wide.

Ideally it would be nice if I could specify where the spotter appears...e.g. if pharo window width < 2000, then on the center, if > 2000 then the right quarter.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,

There is no way to do that now. But, if you want to add settings for it, please feel free to commit changes.

Cheers,
Doru

I would like to avoid settings as much as possible... it should be automatic (e.g. resolution close to 32:10 is probably a dual monitor).

In the end I modified directly GTSpotterGlobalShortcut class>>#openGlobalSpotter, however it's not generic (so I am not going to commit it yet).

As I found, there are more things that do not play well with dragging Pharo over two monitors: (GT)Debugger, taskbar, growl, ... and possibly many others, so maybe some dual-monitor care package will emerge as I will fix the issues one by one.

Peter
