Ability to start Pikaraoke on a separate monitor screen

[mrgut1]

I need always to start Pikaraoke in a smaller window size so I can transfer this window to the second display on Windows 11. For now Pikaraoke defaults to full-screen mode all the time.

I am not computer savvy so I'd like to know if there's a way to do it.

For now you could run pikaraoke --headless

Then manually open the browser in the screen of your choice, then open the pikaraoke URL (the command should tell you what that URL is)

Thanks. It works, although the Windows taskbar and browser search box are visible. I think this is okay for now. I will try to find ways to hide those.

Updated the subject to a feature request for being able to launch on a separate monitor.

Apparently it can be done in selenium with some positioning flags:

driver.set_window_position(-1000, 0)
driver.maximize_window()

But we would need to add a launch flag to pikaraoke to suppor this

One more thing to try:

On mac, if I drag my terminal window to the second screen, and launch pikaraoke from there, it uses the 2nd screen. Not sure if that's the case with windows.
