it would help if you share your configs as well.
#Hi, I tried setting up the Komorebi bar with my two monitors, but I couldn’t get it to work

Now they are set to the default values, since I fully uninstalled and reinstalled it. Which one specifically would be useful to you?
limpid cedar
It's still showing the bar only on Monitor 1 (secondary).

You haven't followed the guide to set up the display index preferences from the looks of the config you posted
limpid cedar
I don't understand. "Let's say you have more monitors" — but I don't have more than the two I mentioned.
I thought that was enough for Komorebi to detect my two monitors and show the bar on both.

Windows never guarantees the order of monitors
So you have to specify which config block should apply to which monitor based on a hardware ID

GG @limpid cedar, you just advanced to level 1!
limpid cedar
Any ideas?

Yeah, this is a JSON validation error - you can see the red squiggly line at line 52
Throw your config file into a JSON validator to get more detailed feedback
komorebic check also provides feedback
limpid cedar
I fixed it, but when I open the bar again, it removes the display_index_preferences from the komorebi.json file.
Therefore, what’s the best way to edit that JSON? Should I have Komorebi and the bar processes terminated? One of them? Both? If so, what’s the best way to start both afterward? Running komorebi start only opens Komorebi, not the bar.
Sorry, I’m really new to this!

This is not normal 👀
What commands are you running?
❯ komorebic quickstart --help
Gather example configurations for a new-user quickstart
Usage: komorebic.exe quickstart
Options:
-h, --help Print help
This command only needs to be run once when you are first installing ^
If you keep running it, it will keep replacing your configuration file with the example configuration file
limpid cedar
Ok, so once I’ve modified the JSON file, what’s the best way to run Komorebi and the bar again?

Still can't see the bar on my other monitor
the code is fine according to the check command
and those json files are in that folder and those are their names
I did it!
the index was the same on both monitor json files 😄
I am so dumb, sorry

I'm glad you got it! You have officially leveled up 🫡
