what about have two checkboxes in a column, centered in the monitor:
[ ] Primary
[ ] Enabled =


the text wouldn't change.

if you have the arrows like one screenshot you shown, those arrows (being =

changed as needed) would always be at the phisical bottom of the screen.

hmm, not sure they have to, making them touching or not doesn't add/remove =

anyways, could do that only the monitor below has the stand, the one above =
