Detachable Dialogs In Linux Topic is solved

[hongmao]

Hi,
I have two monitors, where one of them is a Cintiq 13HD. It's easier to draw directly onto the Cintiq, but harder to see details, due to the size limit. So I'm wanting to have a TVPaint drawing panel on both monitors, without mirroring the entire display. However, all the panels seem stuck to the main window, and can't be moved outside of it is there any way to change this?

As you can see, Here is TVPaint running maximized on a monitor sitting below another monitor. I'd like the drawing canvas window to be on one monitor, and the rest of the UI on another, but the dialog does not fully detach and can in fact become unmovable if I try to move it past the application's window frame...

And yes, my desktop background is #777777, or 50% grey, just to remind me of the difference in color temperature each monitor has...

Oh ok ! Thanks for the details

TVPaint does not have floating windows. The only way to move panels, is to extend TVPaint 's interface on both screens. Then, you can inactive drawers and unpin panels like the drawing panel.
