Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/EslaMx7/ScreenTask/issues/5

I tested ScreenTask and love it for its simplicity.

However, there is a difference when selecting or de-selecting "Capture Mouse Pointer" when used in a multi-monitor environment, because it also changes the display behaviour:

-unchecking this option will only transfer the main screen from the server side

checking it will transfer all of them side by side (as an extended desktop)

Is there a chance of being able to specify a single monitor on a multi-monitor setup, other than seeing all by tracking the mousepointer ? Maybe a select option in the server setup window, or by dragging the server setup window onto the desired screen ?

Best,

Sven
