I have three monitors, two side by side and one monitor is above the one in front of me. How do I set one as primary to have the desktop bar and desktop icons on the one in front of me?
You can set it in Settings > Display Configuration. Select the display you want to set as primary, then check this box.
What about that “Change Screen Priorities…” option?
that just makes the tool bar and icons switch screens but never puts both on the same screen
You can move your toolbar / panel onto whichever screen you prefer - it doesn’t necessarily follow your primary screen.
I got the icons and stuff moved but I want the change what screen is primary. Some programs will launch on the primary screen want that screen to be the one in front of me.
Right now the screen on the right is listed as primary
got it figured out, in set screen priority had to move my samsung to the top. Then right click on the icon bar to get to the manage screen. then I was able to move the icon bar and desktop icons to the primary monitor in front of me!

Same problem - however - it doesn’t list the “priority” menu for the desktops - and puts the main bar on the wrong monitor?
It is always on the “non-main” monitor…
Cool
Right click on the icon menu bar, it should bring up a me a menu. Pick show pannel configuration. From that you can pick manage desktop. From that you can move the bar from the non primary screen to the primary one
That worked, thanks.
Why is that not in the system settings tho? haha. Was confused since changing my ‘Primary’ monitor also moved the ‘bar’ around.
No idea, you would have to ask the people maintaining Fedora 42. I just switched to it from mint. Maybe they guess most will be able to figure it out, Honestly I did nearly by accident, trial and error.
