Hello everyone!! I have been searching for how pywal handles dual monitors and haven’t been able to find anything. I take that back. I found a function that will do what I need to do and I put that in my .zshrc. Can you use functions in polybar modules? Currently pywal puts the same wallpaper on each monitor and my resolution is 3840x1080. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
