Multi-monitor support for OSX

321liftoff · 06-14-2010, 02:16 PM

I have a Macbook Pro (1440x900) with an external monitor (1680x1050) and have 3.0.1 (422) installed.

When running the screensaver as a screensaver, the background is in mirror mode (same scene replicated on both displays). The fish, however are different on each display. As far as I can tell, the fish do not move from one display to another.

When run in application mode in full screen, it takes up the screen of one monitor and makes the other one black. From the FAQ, it sounds like one should be able to see at least one monitor to continue doing work...or is this only in windowed mode?

Thanks!

This feature is in the PC version and should hopefully be in the next Mac version.

Hi 321liftoff,

We had to change the app full screen behavior from what we've done in the past in order to stay compatible with newer OS's.
