Multiple monitors with Kivy

I'm looking at using Kivy to create a program that needs to display a window on each monitor, is there a way to accomplish this? I'd also prefer not to have a single window spanning across.

If not, is there another (good looking, windows/linux) GUI toolkit that can accomplish this?

Can KIVY be used for desktop?

Kivy is a platform independent as it can be run on Android, IOS, linux and Windows etc. Kivy provides you the functionality to write the code for once and run it on different platforms. It is basically used to develop the Android application, but it Does not mean that it can not be used on Desktops applications.

What is Screen Manager in KIVY?

The screen manager is a widget dedicated to managing multiple screens for your application. The default ScreenManager displays only one Screen at a time and uses a TransitionBase to switch from one Screen to another.

You can have two separate windows running two separate kivy apps controlling/communicating with each other via osc/twisted/... However one "App" instance is only limited to one App window for that process. It can launch another process(subprocess.popen) which has a new window though.
