External monitor(s)

[Vibeke]

Is there any way to get information on the monitors(screens)? Ideally I would like to open a window on an external monitor - so that requires some information on how many many monitors are connected, their resolution etc.

After a quick bit of Googling I found this: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/newtech3.shtml

I've tried it out on different screens (my two monitors are different sizes), and it does seem to report the correct size of the screen its on.

I wouldn't know how to target a window at a different monitor though.

Thanks but I am specifically enquiring about external monitors. In order to open a window on a specific monitor I would need information on the active monitors and which monitor a window is currently placed on.

That will very likely need to be a feature request - likely an
extension to `window.screen` that lets you enumerate the
bounds/rectangle for each screen. The Window API
(https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Window) could then be
used in conjunction with that to find out which screen the window is
on and to move it to different screens.

I can't see anything in the documentation.
