Multi screen display

[EdAddis]

I have a two-monitor setup, with the main one on the left hand side. Stellarium always opens on the right one, which I use for supplementary programs that I'm not working on. There doesn't appear to be any way of running the program in a non-maximised way and hence of dragging it over to my main screen. I found a way to move it from the keyboard but, unlike other programs, it doesn't open by default on the screen where it was last closed. Can you please let me know how to control which screen it opens on?

Thanks for adding your first issue to Stellarium. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

You can at least exit fullscreen, drag it over and go into fullscreen again. IIRC it should always open on the first screen. Whether this is your main screen depends on OS settings.

I can't find any way to exit full screen

IIRC it should always open on the first screen.

Which screen to open on is a setting, which should be saved when you click Save settings while having the window on the desired screen.

Thanks F11 works OK, but there is no handle to drag the screen!

On a setting in Stellarium? Where?

Which OS are you using that does have borderless/handle-less windows? On leaving fullscreen on MS Windows the window may have its content area on top-left edge. The mouse still moves the window down to show the top edge.

Press F2 and you'll get the Configuration dialog.

Certainly can't see that in Configuration. As I said in the OP, closing the programme whilst on a different monitor doesn't seem to affect which one it opens on.

Thanks - the handle was off screen at the top for some reason!

Thanks. Still can't find anything there for this problem.

Still can't find anything there for this problem.

Which problem exactly? To save the size and position of your window click Save settings. Did you try this?

It's OK, I have a fix now anyway.  My secondary screen was set as the main one, so I've just changed that and the program is now opening on the other one, as required. Many thanks for your help.
