# NOTE: This is only going to work on dual monitor as I use a line between monitors to differentiate which monitor an app is on.  Further work would be required to add more.  And I don't have more.
# NOTE: I know these commands probably aren't the best/quickest way and intend to improve or ask the community to improve down the road
