Choose Default Monitor

[botaine]

It would be great if projectM launched on my third monitor by default instead of me having to cycle it through all my monitors to get it where I want every time I launch the app. I wouldn't mind editing some kind of config file or use steam game properties launch options as long is there is some way to do it. When I use the app it is always on my TV which I have set as my third display, but the app will always launch on the first display. More default display options would be good too, like launch windowed by default and choose default window size.

The new standalone app already has this option. You can pick the app from my development releases for your OS here:

Press ESC to open the menu, then open the settings windows. There's an option under the Window tab where you can select the display number to show the window on, plus the position, size and fullscreen settings.

This version of the program is much better! It should probably be offered on Steam so people can find it instead of what is on there now, which seems to have features stripped down. Some of the presets have rapidly strobing light or just look like visual garbage and should be deleted. Thank you.

To give a heads-up, I've built a new set of binaries for all desktop operating systems from our current development code:

Regarding Steam, I've gotten the access rights from the original account owner to update the Steam builds (and also those on itch.io). Still have to read the Steamworks docs and how the publishing process actually works with depots and such, but it's on the horizon!
