I've been trying to get this work for a while now but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I wanted my applications such as Discord and Spotify to start on different tags on my second monitor. I was able to get them to start on different tags, but any time they are started they go to my primary monitor.
I ran xrandr --listmonitors
to make sure that in my config.h I was putting the right monitors.
This was the output of that command
Monitors: 2
0: +*HDMI-1 1920/544x1080/303+1920+0 HDMI-1
1: +HDMI-0 1920/521x1080/293+0+0 HDMI-0
Now this is what my config.h looks like
