Description
### Feature Description
Would be great to be able to see all running apps per monitor/display (all workspaces for given monitor/output/dsiplay)
### Use Case
I use Niri and flipping through all workspaces (with checkbox "Running Apps Only in Current Workspace" selected), or having all apps from all monitors displayed is not ideal.
### Compositor(s)
- [ ] All compositors
- [x] Niri
- [ ] Hyprland
- [ ] MangoWC (dwl)
- [ ] Sway
- [ ] Other (specify below)
### Proposed Solution
Add checkbox in the setup limiting running apps per display/output/monitor (preferred), or maybe in case of multiple bars, limiting to the display(s) the bar is assigned to.
### Alternatives/Existing Solutions
I think noctalia has this option
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the setup option for “Running Apps Only in Current Workspace” and the running-apps display for the Niri compositor. Determine how monitor/output assignment and multiple bars are represented, then define the checkbox behavior for showing apps from all workspaces on one display; done means the selected display shows only its apps without breaking existing workspace filtering.
