Title: Using 2 Monitors
Post by: Tom L on September 20, 2020, 09:17:11 PM

All,

I have a (probably stupid) question:

Is there a way in xLights to move the layout tab to a different monitor?  I need to "spread out" my xLights "desktop" so my 53 year old eyes can see everything on 2 21" monitors and I am not sure the best way to do that.

Thanks,

Tom

If your computer has two, have a go.  I use two and three at a time (not bragging, just have several setups with dual monitors.)  Simplest is to drag whatever part of the program you want to the other monitor.

Well you can't tear away the Layout tab from the other tabs but you really don't need to see Layout and Sequencer at the same time.  There are other panels you can pull out to anywhere you want to place them.

I keep the house preview on my second monitor.
