The HUDs are too close to the screen's edges

[dmndrz]

Hi.
Wherever I chose to put the HUDs, it seems they are a little too close to the edges (see screenshot). The worst is on the top, it's almost completely hidden by the menubar.

Hi.
Does this also happen when you set the bar on the right and left side of the screen?

[dmndrz]

No, on the left and right sides it doesn't happen.
I guess it's the same marging for all 4 sides, but at the top there is the menubar so it's partially hidden. It could be solved by automatically hiding the menubar, but it's not what I (and other people I guess) prefer. That's the same for the bottom, if you don't automatically hide the dock, the HUDs would be hidden by it.

Ok.. and on the bottom I think it's caused by the dock... working with both hidden wasn't good for testing 😅
I am already working on an update, in a couple of hours I should be able to release it.

[dmndrz]

Haha, yes! We're all used to have our own different workspaces. ☺️
Other than that, it works very well, it's smooth and feels like iOS.

So I have solved half of that issue... now the Bar should be at the right distance on every edge, regardless of the system menu bar, the dock (and eventually which edge the dock is set to appear).

Unfortunately also when using a fullscreen app the bar appears at that same "right" distance. See screenshot:

Still working on that.

I have just released a new version which should fix this issue. Please confirm me if it does.

[dmndrz]

I confirm you that it's fixed! Good job 😉

for me, the bars are still hidden under the menu bar... here's a gif (i have the latest version: 1.3.7)

May I ask you what that screen's resolution is?

[omarsonmarz]

Color LCD: 1280 x 800
2nd Display: 1600 x 1200
(this is on the primary color lcd display btw)

[omarsonmarz]

preferences shows what i think it should be, but when i restart the app, this happens (sorry for the slow gif)

[AlexPerathoner]

You confirm me this issue is always present, even when the app has been running for a while?

sorry for the late reply
yes, that is what happens

I think I finally understood what's going on.
SlimHUD gets the main screen's dimensions. It then calculates accordingly the offset the bars should have from the screen border. Finally, it shows the bar, but on the other screen.
Please tell me if this sounds reasonable.

Try to set the same resolution for both screens and tell me the issue is still present.

That makes sense. I set the same resolution and it works now, thank you!

That's not a solution xD
However, if I now know what the problem is I can start working on it. In the next days I'll release an update.
