Trinity is clearly multi-screens aware, it maintains a separate panels/desktop configuration for a second screen, and programs started from a menu invoked from second screen panel start on a second screen. So far i like this way more than multiple monitors on a single screen. Separate virtual desktops on each monitor are GREAT. Of course no problems with 0:0 not on a main monitor. The only real drawback (apart from inability to move windows between monitors) is that you cant have different chrome or firefox windows on a different monitors without going different profiles. -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky@xxxxxxxxx) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
