combined monitor image and mss().monitors incorrect

General information:

• OS name: Windows 10
• OS version: 10.0.17134.523
• OS architecture: x64
• Resolutions:
  • Monitor 1: 1600x900
  • Monitor 2: 1920x1080
• Python version: 3.7.0
• MSS version: 4.0.1

The combined monitor image is rendering incorrectly and (because?) the monitors property returns invalid results.

If you look at my output from print(sct.monitors) you will see the results are impossible:

[{'left': 0, 'top': -172, 'width': 3520, 'height': 1252}, {'left': 0, 'top': 0, 'width': 1600, 'height': 900}, {'left': 1600, 'top': -172, 'width': 1920, 'height': 1080}]

If I understand correctly, this output is saying that monitor 2 lies outside of the combination of all monitors together, which of course is impossible. I think this is what causes the 172-pixel black bar along the bottom of the image.

I think the correct output of mss().monitors should be:

[{'left': 0, 'top': 0, 'width': 3520, 'height': 1080}, {'left': 0, 'top': 172, 'width': 1600, 'height': 900}, {'left': 1600, 'top': 0, 'width': 1920, 'height': 1080}]

here is a screenshot of my monitor position in windows display manager:

If I’ll have some time I will work on a fix. Shouldn’t be hard to do.

I was right. I was able to work around the windows bug like this:

import mss
from PIL import Image

sct = mss.mss()

all_mon = sct.monitors[0]
size = (all_mon['width'], (all_mon['height']))
img = Image.new('RGB', size)

for num, monitor in enumerate(sct.monitors[1:], 1):
	sct_img = sct.grab(monitor)

	monitor_img = Image.frombytes("RGB", sct_img.size, sct_img.bgra, "raw", "BGRX")
	
	position = (monitor['left'], monitor['top'])
	
	img.paste(monitor_img, position)

img.show()
