Option added under Layout > Secondary Monitors > Move Panel to Second Monitor.
Added a global var for the second monitors index `MOVE_TO_MONITOR_INDEX`.

Updated the move panel function to use `MOVE_TO_MONITOR_INDEX`.

Isn't a better solution to just set the secondary monitor as primary?

It's due to some games / applications only displaying on the primary monitor / screen. My main screen runs at 165hz while my secondary runs at 60hz.

Sorry to ignore you, but I have other things to deal with first...

Np, just rebasing and pushing in case anyone uses it.

I'm in a very similar situation as @Deverlon, and have been searching all through VShell options for this.

I don't really like the top panel taking up room permanently on my main central monitor, but I do want the clock and top panel icons to display all the time. So I'd like to put the top panel on another monitor, to one side.

However I can't make that side monitor the primary, because the central monitor is where I want apps to launch, especially games, which can be flaky when moved between monitors after launch. So my central monitor has to be primary.
