Hi guys,
Hope you can all help, I’ve been struggling trying to write a small function to keep a button in the very top left hand corner of the screen on the Primary Screen. I’ve managed to get this up and running but I’m getting random and varied results every time I reboot the machine.
Basically I look to see if the machine has an external screen connected and if so I use a dual-screen config. Otherwise I use single-screen config.
Here is an image of what Hardware I’m using:

Here is my config file:

This is what it looks like after reboot 1:
This is what it looks like after reboot 2:
In both instances of the reboots the config being picked up is the dual-screen one.
The config file I’m using is the same as the config.dual.hp.topleft one.

NOTE: The ‘unable to find device’ errors are not an issue. There are multiple device names and the script looks for multiple. It hasn’t found the 2 USBest ones, however it will have found another one as the touchscreen does work as expected.
