I dropped my external monitor and its top left corner is cracked. I no longer can see the top left section of my monitor. It's pixelated. If I'm in full-screen mode, I can't see this reigon of my monitor  Is there a way to shift everything away from the left side of my monitor? Or is some other useful hack or accessibility feature for my situation? I've already adjust the Hover Text feature and bumped Text Size to 90pt and moved the location to bottom right, but wondering if there is any other solution.

I have a Macbook with a cracked screen, only the top left half of the screen works, is there anyway to reduce the screen resolution, keep the DPI the same, and thus have the entire OS visible in the top left section of the screen which works?  The below photo demonstrates what I mean, with parts of the creen totally unusable, it would make sense to be able to display the whole screen in the remaining usable part.

A couple months ago, I started to see some very small stain spots on the bottom of my MacBook Pro early 2015 screen. It's very annoying to see while I'm using it. When the screen is turned off, I see it as in the picture below. But when it's turned on, I see it as very small water-ish drops. I tried to clean it using water, screen cleaner, and even alcohol, but it didn't go away.  Also that area doesn't feel as smooth as the unaffected area. So, I think it's on the outside of my screen not inside.  Have you ever seen this before? Any suggestions on how to remove it without the need of replacing the whole screen?

When I have my external monitor hooked up, I access it by mousing off the left hand side of my Macbook display. Can I switch this so that I can access the external by mousing off to the right of My Macbook display?   The reason I ask, is my monitor is on the right side of my macbook, and it's unintuitive to mouse left to get to a screen on the right.

I would like to be able to set my "default" monitor to be my external 25' monitor instead of my laptop one when I have my external monitor connected.  Many applications always open on the laptops monitor instead of the "big" one. Currently, the only way I know to disable this behavior is to disable the laptop monitor, however, as I use a laptop stand to bring it higher, Id like to be able to use my laptop monitor as a "secondary" monitor, without dock (launcher) and without any windows opening on it.  The only way for a window to reach it would be to actually manually grab it and drag it over.  Some known applications that ALWAYS open on the laptop monitor and drive me crazy: Slack, Rocket Chat, Thunderbird, Sky, System Settings, Guake (specially annoying since i cant move it).

I just installed Ubuntu 18. Since the top bar is only on the primary monitor, I can't use the mouse to grab and move my Chrome window (the top of the screen looks like below). Trying to do so results in grabbing a single tab and opening it in a new window.     Is there a way around this? Ideally, I'd like to have the top bar  across all screens. Another obvious disadvantage of only having the top bar on one screen is that the window menu of any window, not just Chrome, is displayed on the left upper corner of my left screen even when the window is in the lower right corner of the right screen.

I have tried every solution given on the Internet, as well as some tricks up my own sleeve.  Nothing works to help me "extend" my desktop and not "duplicate" it across 2 monitors.  My question is "What is the appropriate site to ask about this?" I don't think it would be Stack Overflow, but I don't dare try any of them for fear of being downvoted to death if I'm wrong.

There is an  feature in Windows 7. However, it seems to not work when dragging a window to the edge that is adjoined to the second monitor. How to make it work properly? Maybe some regedit modification or something?

While looking if someone asked this question before, I landed on .  I'd like to do something similar (shortcut or terminal alias/command) on Linux/Ubuntu to be able to quickly switch the external monitor between landscape and portrait mode instead of having to go to Displays setting it and confirming the configuration.  Jacob Vlijm provided a  which works. If you have another idea I'd love to know about it.  Update: I have updated Jacob's script to work .

Is it possible to adjust desktop monitor brightness like on laptops? Yes all desktop monitors have separate menu for it. But is it possible to change this to something like Winkey+(F1..F12)?    Monitor is connected via VGA or DVI cable.   OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop monitors

Sorry for being so simple but i'm finding it really difficult to work out how to split screens and then rejoin them.   so i grab the corner of a screen and drag it creates a new screen then i grab the corner again and sometimes it creates a new one and sometimes it merges them.   I'm a bit confused about the controls.  I looked on the 2.8 manual and I think its a bit out of date as it looks the same as 2.79.  Any help is greatly appreciated

I am the lucky owner of a pivot monitor, which screen can be rotated (physically). What is the easiest way to make my display turn when I turn my monitor?  For the moment I first launch the 'Displays' app, and then change the settings and confirm. But this is in fact quite a laboured procedure, since I want to switch my orientation up to a few times per minute.  So is there an indicator for this, or equivalent? Can I set a keyboard shortcut that would launch a dedicated command? In fact I am thinking of something similar to the Windows program .

I need to create a multi-monitor setup for my desktop computer but I have no additional monitors with me right now, aside from my laptop. Is it possible to use my laptop screen as an external monitor?  Note that I am not trying to connect a monitor to my laptop, rather, I am trying to connect my laptop screen to a desktop video card (if this is possible).

I'm looking for a way to use a keyboard shortcut to minimize all the windows on the monitor that currently has my mouse on it. I found this page:  but that appears to be hardcoded to minimize windows on a specific monitor, rather than the active monitor. Plus, I have no idea how to compile that code (not a VB coder). Anybody know a way that I can make this happen? I'm on Windows 7 ultimate, 3 monitors.

I am running Mac OS X (Version 10.10.5) on a MacBook Pro (13 Inch, Mid 2010) and want to arrange an external monitor of the same type to different positions.  First, let me explain my setup:   monitor at my office: DELL U2312HM (located above the MacBook's screen) monitor at home: DELL U2312HM (located left of the MacBook's screen)   As you can see, I am using different monitors of the same type (they have different serial numbers displayed in the System Overview window). However, they are located either above or left of the internal screen.  Since the only way I know to arrange an external monitor is draging the blue boxes in the monitor section of the system preferences, I need to do this every morning after connecting my monitor in the office and every evening after coming home. The monitor arrangement does not depend on the monitor's serial number but on the model since saving the arrangement of different models works as desired.  So is there a way, a hidden setting, a hidden setting accessible through the terminal or even a third-party app which enables different monitor arrangements for the same monitor model but based on the monitor's serial number as shown in the system overview?  The behavior which seems to be a system default is very annoying and does not feel very apple-like.

I recently set up  and noticed that the background color on the status-left, if changed, refuses to go back to default and transparent (if transparency is enabled).  I was able to fix the status-right (because it's before the background is changed), but it seems impossible to clear/erase the background after it's set for a section. I'd love to be wrong about this, though, and was wondering if anyone knows of a solution? set -g status-left='#[bg=colour89]ANYTHING CAN GO HERE[#bg=default] AND HERE TOO!' I'd expect to have the background cleared out (bg=default at the beginning would have it stay transparent, and works for status-right), but I get a dark grey instead. TERM = screen-256

I have a dual monitor set-up. When I'm on YouTube, and I click the fullscreen icon, the fullscreen automatically goes to the second monitor. How do I get it to go fullscreen on my main monitor?

I'm using multiple monitors.  When logged in everything is fine: The left monitor is positioned to the left and the right monitor is positioned to the right, but before I log in, the login-screen positions them the other way around.  This is also the position presented by bios and then the grub menu.  I don't mind where the login is displayed, but when moving the mouse, the boundary is the wrong way around and that's annoying.
