Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Windows version Group: trunk Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Paul (plupa) Assigned to: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Summary: Option: Fullscreen spans mult. screens or not Initial Comment: The "fullscreen" mode on windows spans multiple displays. The change was in request to 3297845. However it was very convenient to have "fullscreen" not span both/multiple screens. Any chance of making this an optional behavior? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-11-23 10:53 Message: After having implemented this in the evolving TurboVNC Windows Viewer, at the request of a client, I have to say that it's not as straightforward as I first thought. There are several scenarios that have to be accounted for, the trickiest of them being multiple screens that are configured with different resolutions or offset from each other. Not sure about OS X and Linux, but the Windows API doesn't do a good job of handling those cases. It was necessary to write my own algorithm that iterated through the screens and computed a multi-screen window size that wouldn't exceed the bounds of the shortest monitor. Ultimately, I implemented three modes: span primary (never extend the VNC Viewer window past the primary monitor), span all (always try to extend the VNC Viewer window to all monitors), and auto (only try to extend the VNC Viewer window to all monitors if the remote desktop dimensions exceed those of the primary monitor.) At any rate, the code is here if anyone wants to look at it: http://virtualgl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/virtualgl/vnc/trunk/vnc_winsrc/vncviewer/ClientConnectionFullScreen.cpp?view=markup I don't really know how the full-screen stuff in FLTK works, so I'm not sure how much low-level hacking would be required to do the above in a cross-platform manner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Victor Hooi (victorhooi) Date: 2011-10-12 22:35 Message: heya, Yeah, I have to say I'd definitely support this. I run dual-monitors at work (not an uncommon setup, I'm sure), and the first time I tried to full-screen a 1280x1024 TigerVNC session and it put half on the left monitor and half on the right, with the middle right smack bang between the two monitors, I was like, what the heck... Having this as a user-selectable switch woudl be awesome. Cheers, Victor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ptamlx (ptamlx) Date: 2011-09-29 03:44 Message: I also want to vote for this. Both settings are very useful, depending on what you are doing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-09-19 02:02 Message: Since I implemented the original feature, I've assigned this to myself, but I have no idea when I'll be able to get to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sebastiaan Breedveld (zwartoog) Date: 2011-09-19 01:58 Message: I also want to opt for this. Both settings (single screen / all screens) are desirable in different situations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126849&aid=3409700&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
