SUMMARY
I want to be able to set my notification to appear on my left monitor instead of my right monitor which has my system tray widget, since my right is my primary it will usually be the one to have full screen content on it and rather than have the notification appear on top of of the content it can appear on the other monitor and be visible without being annoying

to generate a test notification:
$ kdialog --passivepopup 'hello world' 5 --title Hi --icon dialog-information.svg

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 monitors
2. Want to make passive notification appear a monitor that does not have a system tray widget present
3. Attempt to do so

OBSERVED RESULT
No way to choose what monitor/display the notification appears on

EXPECTED RESULT
i can make the notification appear on what ever display i want in any location i choose

Move the notification applet to your other screen and notifications will appear there.
Comment 2 pqwoerituytrueiwoq 2021-12-14 14:15:54 UTC 
I am aware of that, but that is not the config i desire as stated on step 2 of STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-12-14 20:42:50 UTC 
We let you position the notification in a custom location on the screen where the applet lives rather than always near the applet; seems reasonable to let you select the screen too.
Comment 4 Riccardo Robecchi 2022-01-20 12:31:34 UTC 
One other aspect to consider is that one may have a multi-monitor setup, with a laptop monitor as well as an external screen. In this context, the external screen may actually be the main one (e.g. due to size and/or position), but removing the notifications widget from the laptop's panel would be unfeasible due to then not having it when the external screen is not connected.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-01-20 15:00:14 UTC 
Yes, that's a great point.
