THE PLACE FOR ALL THINGS BRYCE - GOT A PROBLEM? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE


Subject: Bryce and multimonitor

I'm sure someone has asked this question before, but I couldn't find the answer. Is there anyway to get Bryce to behave sensibly when run on a multimonitor computer? When I try, it just maximizes over both monitors, putting the work area right in the gap between them... It also splits all dialog boxes in half by placing them between screens, dialog boxes which cannot be moved! It will not even work in a non-maximized state, and I can not get it to maximize on one screen only (which is a piece of cake with other programs). As it works now, the program is unusable because of this small detail! /Anders Troberg anders@troberg.mine.nu

Try using your space bar to grab and move your different menus to the 2ndary monitor, your main work area will stay on the main screen, but you can move all your tool menus over to the 2nd one.

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

Sorry, but it doesn't work. I can move the menus around, but the main work area is still stuck between the screens, cut up right down the middle. Also, all dialog boxes are still stuck in the center. I forgot to mention that I use a Matrox G400 Dual Head card, which does not need OS support for multi monitor. To NT, it just looks lika a single big screen, and the driver intercepts certain window messages (like WM_CENTERWINDOW) to provide sensible behaviour (like maximizing to a single screen). This works fine with all programs written according to windows guidelines. For some strange reason, Metacreations seems to make it a point to write ill-behaved and strange looking software. Normally, I would dump a program that behaved this badly without a second thought, but since the programs are quite unparalelled in what can be accomplished, I'll just have to bite the bullet. It would be nice if the programs were written for windows and looking like a windows program though... /Anders Troberg anders@troberg.mine.nu
