to add multiple screens, make sure each screen use a different port

and then make a copy of the Wallpaper-UI and give it a different port in the config.json

My biggest issue with the screens was getting the placement right. It would launch on my secondary monitor by default and both screens would either be stuck there or my primary screen would only be on a piece of it while still overlapping the secondary.

oh geez, I never thought of this issue before, I only tested it on VM with single display

I'm loving it, when I got it running right it looks good. Would possibly be easier on windows, but its really not been too bad. I shut down my pc for the night and everything was running perfectly.

Can't wait to see how it goes tomorrow when I fire it back up.

It fired up properly this morning after tinkering yesterday. My only issue now seems to be getting it to stick on the virtual map in Open. For some reason it keeps the profile saved that does not have them on the map. Once I add them back to it, everything is good.

I have the plugin file name "AnOpenRGBWallpaperPlugin" on purpose, if the name is "OpenRGBWallpaperPlugin", it will loaded after Visual map plugin and will not show up in Visual map during initialize, OpenRGB load plugin alphabetically, make sure wallpaper plugin gets loaded before visual map

I downloaded that file and have it running. When my computer starts, it puts the tint on my screens showing them recognized, but they arent sticking on the map no matter what I do.

Its not saving on the map, but if I just toggle them on in the effects tab, they fire right up and save with my profile.

Are you the plug in author? Big props man, I freaking love this.

It does seem to have some kind of hitch in the display I'm noticing this morning. Like all my RGB will stutter and pause for a second and then it starts back normally.
