This is the 'desktopChanged' message -- see Dictionary

Related to this: is there any possibility of getting a
"screensChanged" message? I work on multi-monitor setups all the time,
and have not been bothered by the issue with screenRects because
they've always told the truth relative to each other.
However, the problem is that my set-up changes multiple times a day.
Mostly it's taking my laptop in and out of meetings, so switching from
one multi-monitor set-up to single monitor; but sometimes I'm plugging
it into a meeting room screen, and sometimes mirroring, and sometimes
I end up with the three screens.
Many apps (including, to some extent, the LiveCode IDE) respond when
this happens. But my own apps can't unless I specifically ask them to.
AFAICT there is no message stacks can get to tell them to get the
screenRects again and take another look. Could there be a
"screensChanged" or similar? (Or we could even overload
"orientationChanged" for this purpose, although that would be probably
be an error.)

I was probably the first person to mention it. I get around it by
setting the position of my stacks when opened or resumed to be within
the bounds of the monitor. Actually, this will happen when switching
from the single built-in display of a laptop to a dual display with
the laptop closed (built-in monitor off). If the second display is a
lower resolution (as it likely will be with retina displays) the OS
will position open windows in the nearest spot that can display the
entire window if possible.
