Currently no, unfortunately. Our Windows fullscreen code doesn't do this, but I'd like to add support for this as soon as I get hooked up with a dev that knows their windows. we'll see...

Best thing to do is to just resize the window on the other monitor to fill it. Works good but not as effecient as in full screen mode.

Hi Andy,

New member here. Recently purchased Gold for Mac. Thanks for the upgrade to Platinum.

I have similar setup on a Mac and would also love this feature. Good to see you like the idea too. Look forward to seeing it added.

I was able to run G-Force Gold fullscreen on 2 monitors until I upgraded to Platinum today. Actually having several issues with the upgrade that were not present with Gold.

To get G-Force to work on both screens open G-Force standalone on one screen and Windows Media 10 in the other. Make WM10 go fullscreen first and then G-Force. I haven't tried this with the new G-Force version yet (don't have my dual screen right now) but it worked with the old version (version 2.8 and earlier).
You can't fullscreen G-Force first, because it returns to normal mode if you activate another window in fullscreen, but WM10 is okay with it.

i too would love full-screen dual display support on windows. i have two lovely panoramic screens and would love to work on while the other is gforcing!

thanks for a great program andy. any ideas of a time-frame for getting full-screen to work on dual displays?

I too have this difficulty. I have a dual-head setup, with a monitor as primary display adapter, and a projector on the other. I frequently mix trance using Traktor on the primary, and would LOVE to have G-Force on the projector for house parties and such, but, no go. The windows titlebar kinda screws the effect.

My suggestion is to talk to the developers of Geiss or BeatHarness, as their winamp plugin/standalones are capable of going "desktop" mode on either display adapter, essentially making the visualization the background image for whichever monitor you choose.

Another group of people who've done this right is those who modded Windows Media Player 6.4 to create WMP Classic, which behaves as desired by dragging it to the secondary monitor and pressing Alt-Enter as usual. Even in full-screen mode, the keypresses and mouseclicks do not cause it to go back to windowed mode.

I use a dual display, with the 'Windows extends onto the 2nd monitor' option checked. Running WMP in full- screen on one, the other monitor is fine.

What I would like is for the screensaver to save both screens, currently it only 'saves' the primary screen.

Hey Andy.....

Have had G-Force for prolly 4 years now. Always amazed me how you managed to improve on perfection. No vis out can compare to G-Force.....or ever will.....lol....It just ain't gonna happen.....

Anyhoo.....I have 2 dual monitor PCs both with independent screens, ATI cards on one and Nvidia's on the other and being able run G-Force on both monitors from 1 source, like Winamp, would be awesome.....

.....totally.

Coming to you via "Vista".....G-Force's #1 fan,

Oh.....BTW.....I *sincerely* hope Gold/Platinum make, or have already made all your hard work worth while.....

.....I hope.

Tanks.
