Multiple screen support #2
Comments
I think you covered the primary options needed. Personally I'd just put the same thing on both screens, but I could also see someone wanting different pages per screen. That might be useful, though likely a bit more to implement. |
It would be useful for me to have a different URL per screen |
Another vote for different url per screen or drop down to set screen. I’ve got four monitors connected and would primarily like to put a calendar on one desktop, and maybe weather on another |
I currently have a different desktop background per screen per desktop, so I'd want this to behave the same. |
Plash v1.1.0 adds the ability to at least choose what display to show the website wallpaper on. |
I would appreciate multiple monitor support. I can see how it would make the preferences panel more complicated, not to mention how the URL is chosen. |
I would also appreciate multiple monitor support - I use 3 displays and currently can only get the background on one display. A different webpage per display would be ideal. Thanks |
This will happen eventually, but there are other issues I plan to prioritize first. Contributions are always welcome though, both in form of figuring out how it should work and also code. |

I think an option to set "all monitors" would be a good next step :) It seems easier than allowing different urls on different screen (which would be ultimately my need.) |
I'm unfortunately unlikely to work on this anytime soon. I only use a single screen myself, so it's simply not a priority. However, I thought of a workaround today. You can run multiple instances of Plash at the same time. One for each display. And hide the extra menu bar icons by enabling the "Hide menu bar icon" setting. Here are additional builds of Plash with a different bundle ID so they can have individual preferences. Plash v2.13.5 (requires macOS 13.3 or later):
(These builds have individual URL schemes Plash v2.12.0 (requires macOS 12.4 or later):
(These builds have individual URL schemes Plash v2.4.0 (requires macOS 11.3 or later):

also +1 vote for this, but understand you've got to prioritize. |
Could the updates for these different bundle IDs be automated on your build pipeline? |
@wesleycoder I'm unlikely to spend time on automating a hacky workaround. If I'm gonna spend time on something, it would be a proper solution. However, I have updated the builds in #2 (comment) to the latest version of Plash. |
for mac, I definately use several "Desktops" (Backgrounds) and so having several plash bagrounds would be perfect! |
I have updated the builds to the latest Plash version. |
+1 - Plash is a genuinely superior alternative to the built-in mac desktop. That it currently allows JS explodes the possibilities in ways not only "cool" but genuinely useful and productive. Building multiple screen support would be my #1 request. Thanks for the great work. |
+1 |
Please please please make it so we can have 8 different Plashes running at once, I use all 4 currently and would like to use more. |
@laurencebush I have updated the builds and added 8 now. |
Would it be possible to get updated builds for 2.15? |
Two related requests, one tiny and related to these builds, and one that could easily be included in the primary build:
|
I intentionally left it out in the initial version as I don't use multiple screens myself, so I'm not exactly sure how it should optimally work. Please leave some feedback if you need multiple screen support.
Possible solutions:
I'm open to other ideas.
