Dual monitor support

Heres another question for you netsuo.... i was looking at centrafuse, and in there newest version, they have dual monitor support which is something im doing in my install. In there setup you can set the full screen video or visualisation to display in the second monitor while you still have full regular view of the main application in the first monitor. This is perfect for my set up since it will enable rear seat passengers to view video or dvd playing while i view gps up front ....or any other combination of modules..... i would really love to see this implemented into neocar since i swear by this program.......

I did this ages ago but decided to leave this route

What i did was run NMC as my main app then had Road Runner run on the second desktop and set it to be controlled by a remote etc.

Just a thought

use ultramon to make the apps stay on either desktop so RR and NMC won't go over each others screen.

Only reason i did this was cause i could have a second sound card for the ppl in the bac so they can use headphones while i hear everything through the car.

From what I understand from my past conversations with netsuo that should be possible by using a skin that goes over both desktops in windows.

basically instead of ONE 800x480 skin to cover 1 screen, it would be 1600x480 to be double the width and using windows multi desktop function it would fill two desktops.

Then, due to the new structure of NMC (all controls on all skins) you should be able to have visu on the second screen / gps on first, and so forth.

Multi-zone audio isnt supported so far I guess,

i can't wait for the new version cause it's a pain to use the latest beta in my car it keeps studdering the music once i come out of hibernation and takes 30 secs before i can get nmc to respond to the touchscreen then quit it.

The new version seems like it will be running alot smoother
