Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor. hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ... hidpi issues: Windows previews are nice but they are too small (not sure if this is only on HiDPI) – is there a way to make them bigger?
