Hi, does anyone know if its possible to have a window go fullscreen across a proper subset >1 of one's monitors? Allow me to clarify what I mean. I have my monitors arranged as so (DP# just being the DisplayPort-#):

+------+-----+-----+-----+
| DP1  |     |     |     |
+------+ DP4 | DP5 | DP1 |
| DP9  |     |     |     |
+------+-----+-----+-----+

What I was hoping to do is have a window go fullscreen on DP1, DP4, and DP5. I realize there is the fulscreen global option, but because DP1 and DP9 have a lower PPI than DP1, 4, and 5, there is part of whatever cut off on the top of DP1 and the bottom of DP9.

I realize this is a niche case that very little people (if any) car about, but on the off chance anyone knows, it'd be awesome if you could post the solution. otherwise I might look into a feature request

thanks for the help! this kinda does what I was hoping. doesn't work for fullscreen video though. but I don't think thats unexpected. it'll work well enough for everything else, though.
