Re: Multiple monitor behaviour changed in the Activities screen

[Matt Paine <mattzerah gmail com>]

I would love to start working on an extension to play around with how
the overview/activities screen displays my currently open applications
and desktop views. Would anyone be able to point me to the API docs
that specifically enable me to decide which apps to display where?
I've had a look around but with my inexperience with the system I'm
really not sure where to start looking.

I'm probably digging too much into the system for my first extension,
but I feel this would be a great way to understand how the extension
system works :)

Thank you.
Matt.
