CAD on a 2nd display?

[jkuo]

Does anyone ever use a dual output VGA card?
I'm curious what if I can show CAD in dull screen mode at one monitor while I am still able to manage my playlist on the other?

yes, i'm using CAD on a dual monitor setup for quite some time now and have never experienced any issues with it.

you can move CAD to any display you like by a simple drag and drop.

the only trouble is, that if you at some point decide to no longer use a second monitor and then switch back to a single display accordingly, then CAD has still stored the position of each skin, which might be outside of your main display area then.

so, it might be best if you'd move all your skins back to the main screen, before you'd decide to disconnect the second monitor.

or.. you can open CAD's settings.ini file in notepad and then reset the skin positions manually there.

for fullscreen skins it works a bit differently, because they obviously can't be moved by drag and drop.

for fullscreen skins there's a setting in CAD's options, where you'd manually type in the amount of pixels a fullscreen skin should be moved to either left or right.

thank you, Otis.
I don't have a dual output VGA card yet but I'm going to get it and give it a try.
