Feature Request: Control which monitor(s) for fullscreen #25

Open ClaireCJS opened 1 year ago

ClaireCJS commented 1 year ago

I'm in a situation where I have 4 screens, but I want a fullscreen milkdrop that spans only 3 of them.

Currently the only choice is "1" or "all". I'd like the option to simply set it at the command line, like: --fullscreen --use-monitors:1,2,4

Tip: move the Milkdrop3 (or BeatDrop) window what monitor you want, then press ALT + ENTER or double click it. It goes on fullscreen when you have the visualization window on every monitor.

You mis-read my post.
Can you delete your comment? It's not helpful.

1) Alt-Enter has been a common hotkey since the 1980s. 2) I very explicitly stated i DON'T want it on every monitor, but that I want it on more than 1 monitor.

If you want, then wait for the owner of Milkdrop 3 to respond. ._.

In the next version coming up in a few days, you'll be able to move the windows to any position / size you want and save it

So, the problem is that I want milkdrop to be on every monitor except the one that will be displaying MiniLyrics and the lyrics to the song.

My 4 screens are arranged in such a way (a rectangle, roughly) that there's really no way possible to make a full screen milkedrop to do this. Any rectangular shape that captures 3 of the screens will always capture the 4th.

I'm actually going to be installing another video card to bring a 5th screen into the fray, but I'm still going to be facing the same problem -- that I want it to be fullscreen on every monitor EXCEPT one.

Hey I made an option that should solve your problem: Start MilkDropPanel, and set AlwaysOnTop to "Always OFF". Restart MilkDrop. Now when MilkDrop will be in fullscreen, it won't be always on the top, meaning you could bring up MiniLyrics on your 4th screen :) Try it
