Fullscreen on secondary, don't disable taskbar (1 Viewer)

[Lolita]

Can you add option to don't disable taskbar when using fullscreen mode? Its realy anoying for me ):

And also support for using fullscreen on secondary monitor would be nice (dx 9 can sure do it - try dxdiag > display 2 > test direct 3d and it will start on secondary)

go into the configuration, there uncheck hide taskbar.

if you want to start mp on a secondary monitor, it would et really slow, because dx9 does not support hardware acceleration on the 2nd monitor, so you only have software rendering there.

if oyu want to try it, start mp in windowed mode and move it to the 2nd screen, you will see, it gets really slow.

OMG, sorry i must be blind ...

Hmm weird and did you try that thing in dxsetup ... i think it support hardware on secondary, but maybe im wrong, can you just try it?

im not sure, but i think, this has worked before:
run mp in windowed mode, go to options or something like that in the menu, and select the other screen.
then move the window over to that screen.
maximize mp.
restart mp.
now i think, it should start up un the secondary screen.

another thing that has worked before:
move the desktopicon with that you start mp to the secondary screen and start mp.

sorry, it was my fault, dx9 does support hardware axxeleration only at one screen at a time, that was it ,)

I did not found anything about screens in configuration \:

That will be a problem because i disabled desktop icons and now i don't know how to enable it back

Hmm i get over it, will write guide, but then my feature request is option to set screen where to run media portal.
