This may be an incredibly stupid question. I feel dumb even asking it. But I'm new to this. Anyways, I run a dual monitor setup, but whenever something is full screen on my secondary monitor, I can't make it smaller or move the window around. This is because the dock at the top that says "Firedragon" "File" etc; is only on my main monitor. Even the top "title" bar isn't there. I can't resize from the edge of the screen either. Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE: Simply changed the display in Layouts to an extended display

IIRC the config isn't good for multiple monitors. You'll need to tweak it to how you want it to work.

Here's one of mine (right click the top bar and edit dock to open these settings).
N.B. I'd advise to first do right click -> layouts -> dr360nized -> Export, to save the default config and to continue exporting as you tinker around and learn it.

Thank you. I went to the layouts and played around with the different kinds, creating new ones, switching, etc. It seems the Extended layout works the best and shows the "titles" at the top of the windows. I can now freely move my stuff, make it smaller, and so on. Thanks again!

I know this is marked as solved but wanted to put this here if needed to position a window before setting up a different layout.

If the window doesn't respond to the double click command of the top bar on the other screen to resize it down, you can move a window to the other monitor that does has the top bar by using Meta (Windows key or similar) + shift + directional key (direction depending on your monitor setting position), and then it should respond to commands as normal

If you want your top latte panel to handle windows onnall screens you need to enable this with: right click top panel, Behavior advanced settings, Track Window:From All Screens

An alternative solution could be to duplicate your top panel, right click dock, Add dock..., Duplicate panel.
