As a two-monitor user at work, I've noticed that applications behave differently with regards to what monitor they open on (primary or secondary monitor, the last monitor the application opened on, and so on). To be honest, some applications annoy me because I want them to open on my primary monitor and I'll move them to my secondary if I want them there. However, these applications are done and out of my control, so I want to ask about my own applications that might be run by people using two monitors. What kinds of controls are available to either allow people to specify which monitor your application opens on, allow an application to 'remember' the monitor it was on when it was closed and reopen there, and to force the application to start on a specific monitor? I'm looking for solutions across all operating systems and programming languages, although I'm guessing that different OSes and languages will have different controls.

There are many different multi-monitor configurations supported by OS X, and while the steps discussed here will focus on a dual-display configuration, they can be applied equally to other setups. That said, our example setup for this tip is a Mac with two external displays, with the display on the right configured as primary. Starting with, OS X will show the menu bar by default on all displays (prior to Mavericks the menu bar only appeared on the primary display), but the default location of your dock and the appearance of desktop icons () will tell you which monitor is currently configured as your primary display.

To change this up — for example, if you wanted the monitor on the left to be your primary display — head to System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement. This window will show you the layout and relative resolution of all monitors currently connected to your Mac, including the built-in display on a MacBook, with each monitor represented by a blue rectangle icon. One of the display icons will have a white bar at the top, representing the menu bar. This depiction is a holdover from older versions of OS X which did not display the menu bar on all monitors, but it helps us identify which monitor is currently set as the primary display. If you’re connecting many displays to your Mac for the first time and you aren’t sure which icon in System Preferences corresponds to which physical monitor on your desk, simply click and hold on one of the icons and a red border will appear around the monitor it represents.
