You mean like the way GIMP does it? I've asked about this and been told it isn't possible because of the basic architecture of DT screen handling. I would love to have a system where the "data" part of an application can be put on one screen and the "controls" on another. There are many text editors that claim to be things like 'modeless' and with without a control panel or ribbon. Their logic is that focus on the editing and remove all other distractions. I'm not sure that rationalization holds for image editing, but certainly maximizing image size -- putting it on your largest screen and having nothing else on that screen -- makes sense. After all, eve in one screen mode we can *view*, and *only* view the image by making the left, right, top and bottom panels go away with the little triangle controls. So we have a large image but on controls. Heck, in many applications, LibreOffice, Okular and others, I can 'unlock' the the tool bar and drag&drop it elsewhere, even on another screen. Is this an attribute of the application or of KDE or Gnome? I think it is the application. -- "It doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes"- Joe Stalin ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
