Dumb noob question

TaZMaNiaK · 01-27-2005, 09:13 PM

Hey,

I got Frodo to use with my XM Direct at home for now, and I'm going to use it when I build my carputer later this year.. My question is when I open Frodo, it seems to dock itself at a particulaR spot on the desktop and I can't move it. I have a dual-monitor (1024x768) setup home, and the carputer will probably also be dual-monitor, so I would like to be able to change where it is, but I can't seem to find any way to 'undock' it so I can move it.. Am I missing something here?

This is where it stays..

Thanks in advance!
Matt

Whose skin is that?

Ok, I turned it off, and got it to go to fullscreen which is good, but I still can't move it to the other screen. It will only open on the Primary monitor. I can't get it to open in the Secondary display. I have a Radeon 7000 card with ATi Catalyst software and Hydravision installed. I've tried using Desktop Manager to move it, to no avail.. Is this something that I'm just stuck with until a future release?

That's djScript's skin, BTW. All you SkinMasters are great!

Thanks,
Matt

What is you're screen res ?
Lets say its 1024x768..

Change the ADV_LEFT
to be ADV_LEFT=1025

Thanks Frodo! My secondary screen actually sits to the left, so I figured out it's -1024. Might want to throw that into the FAQ about the values for secondary displays, and that they depend on where the secondary display is with respect to the primary (and can be negative)..

Thanks again!

Well, at least you got the concept

In that link it says:

ADV_TOP=212
ADV_LEFT=200
ADV_WIDTH=1024
ADV_HEIGHT=768

It should be:

ADV_TOP=0
ADV_LEFT=0
ADV_WIDTH=1024
ADV_HEIGHT=768

I'm thinking about working out a skin for 1024x768 but will see how rusty my photoshop skills are and how easy they are to implement. Take this as salt.
