Here's hoping useful multi-monitor support in high on the dev team's list of features!

In the mean time, I'd recommend checking out Centrafuse. It's multi-monitor implementation is near perfect (AV source configurable by media type). They are even adding gesture support shortly... Sadly, despite a well thought-out/implemented feature list, I find the Centrafuse user interface far too clunky and counter-intuitive to be useful in a car environment. I'll be sticking by StreetDeck for a while longer, despite this obvious flaw. : )

having the tskbar on the tv screen is very annoying.. but I think it might have more to do with some direct3d limitations instead and how you have to play the video output on the primary screen ...

thats my educated guess.. im prolly wrong....
it would be nice to have streetdeck just switch the 2 screen when you run it.. it it HAS to be that way...
