No Border Dual Monitors One monitor

Post by Mads Juul »

I'm doing Storyboard/Animatics in TVPAint. And I Like To have two Monitors One for TV Paint And One For reference photos. in A browser to have access to flicker etc. When i onely had One monitor i liked to work with "No Border". But when i have two montors In "No Border" Mode. TV Paint Takes Both Screens So I Cant see My Browser And My Reference. Is there some way That I can make No Border only on one Monitor even though i hav 2 ?

Mads, this is a graphics card job. If you are using nVidia, for instance, you have a choice to set two monitors to span as a single screen, or to show as dual screens.

I didn't understand your question well but now I do -- still, you should be able to make this choice in nVidia (although I haven't tried with FireFox). What you want you should be able to setup in "individual settings" and select individual apps to showup in any of the monitors you select for them. I have 4 monitors and I can have 4 apps running and visible at the same time. You also have the choice of deciding when you want to use both monitors for TVP or just one.

nVidia is a tough piece of software to understand but once you spend time with it, you begin to discover lots of possibilities. Don't forget to look into nView Desktop Manager (I think it's a separate choice to have when you are installing the software). You then have the advantage of making your on Profiles so that your monitors will automatically open TVP and Fox whenever you reboot.

Good luck; it gets maddening at times for me but your name must have you immunized for something like that. :)

Not exactly plural but "the mad one" when used in a name; for example Fats Waller.

On windows operating system:
1. Mouse Right click on your desktop -> Properties
2. select the Settings tab
3. you should see 1 and 2 displayed in rectangles in that tab.
Click on the second monitor and select the option: 'Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.'

You can also:
1. from the Settings tab, click 'Advanced'
2. select your Nvidia / ATI graphic card tab name
3. open/start your graphic card control panel

In the control panel:
1. select 'set up multiple displays'
2. adjust your multiple screens accordingly

Thank you for answering
This is How I do it now
But that is not the question.
the question is;
The Problem is if I click
TVPAint>Edit>Preferences>Interface>No Border
Then TV Paint fills Out both monitors.
But I want "No Border" But only on one Monitor. So I can see another software on the second monitor.

RMB on the very top, blue bar of FireFox, go down to nView Options>Send Window to>and here you'll see your two monitors and you select the one you want for FF. Then you RMB again on top and select "Always on top". That should do it.
