Hey, tried your rice. When using any rice, polybar only shows up on one monitor. Any fix for this? Love your work btw

Yes is possible, unfortunately I only have one monitor and what I do is created and tested for me on my hardware. But these links may help u.

Cool! I made an launch_poly script in the scripts folder, containing this:
polydir="$HOME/.config/bspwm/rices/emilia/polybar" if type "xrandr"; then for m in $(xrandr --query | grep " connected" | cut -d" " -f1); do MONITOR=$m polybar --reload emi-bar -c ${polydir}/config.ini & done else polybar --reload emi-bar -c ${polydir}/config.ini & fi

Then i did chmod +x launch_poly.sh and changed
`function SetGirlFriendRice() {

case $RICETHEME in

	emilia)
	
	  SetBspwmConf 0 60 5 "#202132" "#202132" "#202132" "#070219" 5 5
	  		  
	  killeww
	  launch polybar -q emi-bar -c ${polydir}/config.ini <-------
	  launch dunst -config ${bspdir}/dunstrc-dark &
	  
	  ;;`

to
`function SetGirlFriendRice() {

    case $RICETHEME in

            emilia)

              SetBspwmConf 0 60 5 "#202132" "#202132" "#202132" "#070219" 5 5

              killeww
              launch launch_poly.sh
              launch dunst -config ${bspdir}/dunstrc-dark &

              ;;

`,
Only issue is that the bar on both monitors only show the workspaces for my primary monitor. Doesn't matter tho, workspace 8 and 9 still work on my second monitor.

Ok there are some thing you need to change. in bspwmrc there is this code:

workspaces() { name=1 for monitor in bspc query -M; do bspc monitor ${monitor} -n "$name" -d '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' let name++ done }

You need to adapt it for 2 monitors or just delete and do:

`bspc monitor LVDS1 -d 1 2 3 4 5

bspc monitor VGA1 -d 6 7 8 9`

then in polybar.ini create another bar for the second monitor;

`[bar/top]
bottom = false
monitor = LVDS1

modules-left = bspwm mpd
modules-right = keyboard battery backlight temperature volume datetime powermenu

[bar/top_external]
bottom = false
monitor = VGA1

modules-left = bspwm mpd
modules-right = keyboard volume datetime powermenu`

in Z0mbi3 the polybar.ini is polybar_tray.ini?
