Greetings, Yesterday, I updated my e17 installation from shadoi's debian packages, and ever since my dual screen desktop (which is xinerama enabled) seems to have split into two desktops, such that using the ALT-Fx keys only change the desktop on one monitor instead of both monitors as I've been accustomed to in previous versions of e17 and e16. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to re-configure things such that I have only one root desktop that spans both monitors. My apologies if this is covered somewhere out in the interweb, but I've yet to figure out how to find it. So any hints or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, - Jeff |

-fake-xinerama-screen does indeed configure e17 to behave more in the manner in which I had expected (ala e16). Thanks! But I also see Raster's point about how windows are placed and how backgrounds are managed. Given the default e17/xinerama behavior, is there, or can there be a way to bind a single ALT-Fx keystroke to change multiple zones at once? In other words, to gain the window placing and background selection features of the default behavior, while still being able to switch both screens concurrently like the fake-xinerama-screen setting is allowing?

For example, say you had a wide-screen monitor, and were using the fake xinerama settings to divide it in half. However, you want to be able to watch movies covering the full width of the screen (or on the fly go make the window recognize xinerama). Can this be done? Thanks, Jacob PS I'm interesting in programming in EFL, but have very little C experience. Would you folks have any suggestions on where to begin? Thanks! |

Can this be done? currently - no. this though is more a matter for having an option as to how to do fullscreen/maximise policy - should it use a subset of the screen (making gadgets and panels etc. visible), the entire screen, or across all screens. there's work to be done there yet. i see your point and it's valid and worht looking into - but for now we have much bigger fish to fry :) > Thanks, > Jacob > > PS I'm interesting in programming in EFL, but have very little C > experience.
