Polybar not appearing on extended monitor #415

I just installed a fresh copy of Archcraft on a laptop. When I extend my screen or when I make visible only my external screen, the Polybar does not appear on the external monitor and the wallpaper is stretched. I have this problem in Openbox, Bspwm and i3wm.

In i3wm, hitting Ctrl+Shift+R (Reload config files) seems to solve the problem: everything looks like it should.

I guess a hook is missing to make Polybar reload.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Fresh installation of Archcraft, with updates done
  2. Pick one of the WM: Openbox, Bspwm and i3wm.
  3. Open Rofi > Manage Monitors > Extend the Monitor to an External Screen.
    or
    just use xrandr directly

Context

  • ISO Version: archcraft-2024.10.22-x86_64.iso
  • System Specs: Lenovo Carbon X1 2021, Intel i7-1185G7
  • Graphics Card: Intel Iris Xe
  • External Monitor: LG HDMI 4k

Failure Logs

I don't know where to look for logs.

This problem does not exists if one uses Arandr instead of Manage Monitors.
