Multiple Monitor Support

[MEmerton]

Hi again,

I am a crazy nnut whom has 2 monitors, that have different resolutions (16:10 and 4:10) but if I swap any DBPowerAMP windows between Monitors and full size them again. bits of skin are missing and if the screen is smaller (in MMCs case) I cannot see what I have enqued.

Also the 'Pop up' info items and other such messages only appear on monitor '1'.

I have noticed that this is a Windows feature as most 'fullscreen' applications tend to only full screen on monitor 1

The other problem is, that when I only use one monitor, and have left a DBPowerAMP window on the missing monitor, I cannot retrieve it.

NVidia / ATI have created methods to retrieve windows that do this, by adding an extra taskbar menu item / submenu to each task button. This works for DMC, yet no other DBPowerAMP window.

This has caused a great problem seing as I have now 'lost' the main Player window.. somewhere in the crazy desktop world that Windows has created.

Seing as I have a laptop for work..I tend to switch between one and two monitors alot.

Is there a dirty fix for the moment that I can use? :@P

A Longterm fix would be great too :@D

Cheers
Michael

Re: Multiple Monitor Support

There is a dAP option that controls if it appears in the task bar, does that help?

Re: Multiple Monitor Support

i kind of does....that little task bar window appears on screen 1 only so it can be found.

However, as in the situation I have now, the main DAP window is off to the Left of my screen (Where the extra monitor was)...but when I use the 'Move' function of the windo's task bar button, nothing happends..it is almost as if because it is a skined window..the normal rules for a window dont apply.

This also is a skin oriented thing, as If I install / use another Skin, all the windows appear in Monitor 1 (unless I have lost that skin previously)

does this help?

I don't know then, sorry.

Re: Multiple Monitor Support

Well, how do I re-set the positions manually, as this is obviously stored in the Skin files somewhere.

This is beginging to get very tedious, as I am running out of skins
