# Recipe - Positioning Windows on a Multi-Monitor Setup (tkinter version of PySimpleGUI only)
On the Windows operating system, it's possible to create your window on monitors other than your primary display. Think of your primary display as a single quadrant in a larger space of display area. The upper left corner of your primary display is (0,0).
If you wish to locate / create a window on the monitor to the LEFT of your primary monitor, then set the X value to a **negative** value. This causes the window to be created on the monitor to the left. If you set your X value to be larger than the width of your primary monitor, then you window will be created on the monitor that is located to the RIGHT of your primary monitor.]
I don't know if this technique works on Linux, but it's working great on Windows. This technique has been tried on a 4-monitor setup and it worked as you would expect.
To use this feature, rather than using the default window location of "centered on your primary screen", set the `location` parameter in your `Window` creation to be the location you wish the window to be created.
Setting the parameter `location=(-500,330)` in my `Window` call, set the location of the window on my left hand monitor.
Experimenting is the best way to get a handle on how your system responds.
It would be great to know if this works on Linux and the Mac.
