Clearly we need an eve "desktop container" similar to Photoshop/etc where the information windows can be undocked from the game window. This would allow those who are looking for a more Flight-Sim style experience where the main game viewport isnt cluttered.
It wouldn't be as much of a problem if things rolled up and stayed put (at least for me they don't) but they seem to have a nasty habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ignoring the fact the overview tabs seem to have a mind of their own as to what they are gonna display each time I log in, despite how many times I save it.

i was looking at the triplehead2go and 3 27'' dell monitors...is it now not worth borthering since eve wont work with it?
can anynone shed some light on this?
TripleHead2Go Will work, it have a setting to make all 3 screen to span into single desktop.
The downside is the FPS(frames per seconds) will drop, you may notice a little studder once awhile in certain area. ( I don't mind since it's playable).
Note: The Higher the Rez you go the lower the FPS will fall.
Spanning far as 3840rez or more will notice a grafx strecth on the left and right monitor but the center monitor will look fine. I think the maximum EVEO grafix engine max at 1280 or 1600rez then beyone that will strecth. (Thats ok for me, I just want some of my in game windows such as local chat, market, contract, etc open on the sides away from main view for action.)

Desktop Container would be awesome but it will have to be in windowed mode and will lose FPS and all. We will not see this in a very long time. But like the M$ flight simulator that you can assign instrument or views on certain monitors would be awesome as well.
This type of program will require heavier PC, as CCP are trying to keep the files small and less power hungry and playable on low end PC instead of us spending large ammount of funds upgrading PC.
Right now adding 2 or more monitors is a way to go.

Synergy Should be mentioned also.
allows sharing of keyboard/mouse etc.. between computers over the network - works on linux and windows and is interoperable between os's.
I have a windows laptop with 2 monitors on it and a linux machine giving me 3 monitors, 2 computers running 2 clients (no slow-down for 2 clients is also a bonus).
You have to run in windowed mode (on windows) with eve-mon and it works beautifully.

I have been using Synergy for long time, its an awesome program which control 2 laptops from single PC.
Here are the suggest programs that I have been using.
> Synergy - http://synergy2.sourceforge.net
(for controlling multiple PCs)
> PowerStrip - http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/ps.shtm
(for adjusting monitor resolution*read carefully may damage your monitor, dont blame me*)
> Maxivista - http://www.maxivista.com
(for using more than 4 monitors, 2nd pc may be required)
Thats all for now, any suggestion?
link your gamestation on multimonitors 3 or more.

Currently:
- I run 2 x 19 TFTs at 1440x900, using Nvidia Driver Dualview setting so I can offset the cursor transition from one monitor to the next (I only have one monitor riser.)
- I use Gamers' Window Relocator and Windowed mode on my two clients, one Premium and one classic will run quite happily on my single 8800GT.
- For PVP I hit Alt+Enter to toggle to Fullscreen for the FPS boost.
- I also use Ultramon for the second taskbar and convenient window moving functionality, but this is not essential to EVE.
I'd like to run 1 x EVE client, fullscreen, spanned across both monitors. For this to work I need CCP to add a "HORIZONTAL CAMERA OFFSET= # PIXELS" setting to the escape menu, then I'm golden. All the fancy-pants modal solutions in this thread don't help me. I just want my ship centred on monitor 1, and I'll drag everything else to the second myself.

Well after much trail and error I managed to get Eve to span over 3 monitors without spending a ton of money on the triplehead2go. I already had 3 video cards and three monitors running, with a program called Powerstrip I was able to play in windowed mode at 3072x768. The only drawbacks were that I could not use premium settings and that I had to set Eve at high priority with my processing. Other than that the game plays fine with no problem.

I thought the would Be awesome for you guys to see.
I started playing eve back in 05 but couldn't afford it. Ive been playing it off and on since.
I didn't start paying for it till Oct, 08 Now, I love the game.
I got a hold of 2 flat 19" Monitors and they are side-by-side on my desk.
I looked for ways to Keep Eve from minimizing when I did stuff on my other screen, till I found a post where
they thought it would be cool to have the other screen sued for the overview, Chat, and other things and the other just for the game itself.
I thought Id try a Desktop Span, not Independent view. and now My task bar goes from one side to the other.
and I have INCREDIBLE space in eve. I have a nVidia 7300 AGP 512MB and 1GB DDR 400
It runs flawlessly.
If you want to try this as well and have an nVidia card, Open your control panel and set up and Span. Open eve and set the res of double your Horizontal view.
The only Problem with spanning is the wallpaper. But there are Wallpapers for thopse high resolutions, or you can just use paint and save them as PNGs. (loose quality with JPGs & BMPs are HUGE)
Want to know more? Ask me, im online all the time. |

IF you don't want to use span and keep your dualview setup (like me), I have a simple solution.
---> The only catch is that you need to be running in windowed mode. If you run in fullscreen, it will put the whole dual-monitor resolution on one screen if you follow my steps.
ò Open your nVidia Control Panel
ò Add a custom resolution to your primary monitor (mine is 3360x1050: 3360 = 1680 x 2)
ò Click the test button. It'll look weird, but click yes to say that the resolution works. It will switch back.
ò Run eve, select your new custom resolution and hit apply. Voila!
I have no idea how dangerous this is with monitors; it might very well turn your lcd into a heap of plastic ****...but it worked fine on mine :) So try at your own risk.

I got ultramon a while back to do this and it worked fine....only problem I had was the ship and the hud being split down the center.....now that I can move the hud I can't for the life of me remember how to set it up again....I'm not worried about the split ship but it would be nice if it wasn't.....

I'm running Vista 64 and there is no span mode in Vista. Kojee's procedure worked great for me, even though I have one 22" 1680x1050 LCD and one 19" 1024x768 LCD. I used the sum of the horizontal resolutions and the smaller of the two vertical resolutions, creating a custom 2960x1024 resolution in the nVidia control panel. In a test run on my system I consistently averaged around 80 FPS, with an occasional dip into the 60s. This was not heavy combat, just a me and my drones ratting in .8 space, but I saw no lag whatsoever.
For reference, I've got Vista 64 SP1, 8GB DDR6400 RAM, a Quad core Intel 9450, and an nVidia 8800 GT with 512MB of memory, and just loaded nVidia driver version 180.48. If you are using EVEMon to manage a windowed Eve client, you have to turn that off.
I've gotten a sudden itch for a third monitor, but I have no idea if Eve can be split across two graphics cards. Anyone tried this yet using just native Windows & nVidia cards and drivers without any third party software?

You're going to need either software (powerstrip) or hardware (triplehead2go) to pull that off.

Im putting my hat in for Multiple monitor support. While I currently make do in my setup (3 24" monitors, Center eve, windowed, moved with eve-mon, Left Browser/Winamp/VMs and Right Spreadsheets/Static map) It would be nice to move some things over from the game. (like replace the static map with the actual map)

Ok I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and i have 2 NVidia 8800 GT's and 2 monitors. It took me a bit to get this to work but the trick to running 2 instances of Eve Premium with everything turned all they way up is: Open one instance of Eve, then go to your display setting. Change your other monitor to be your main monitor. Start the other instance of Eve, and change your monitor settings back to the way you had it. Now you can run 2 instances of Eve (each on their own screen) in Windowed mode with out ANY problems at all.

Hey guys I am looking to run 2 EVE clients at the same time for both of my accounts across my dual monitors. I'm running a Radeon x1950 on a x64 XP Pro OS with 8gigs of memory on a 3.0ghz quad-core CPU.
I have ultramon.
I cannot quite figure out how to get this to work :( I've tried window mode and full screen mode, and if its in full screen mode, you have to alt+tab out of it and I dont want to deal with that, if it's in window mode, its very buggy when switching between eve and any other windows program. :(
Please help guys. Thanks. |

1) at client #1 select virtual gfx card 1
2) at cleint #2 select virtual gfx card 2
3) have then both run windowed and drag the 2nd eve client from screen #1 to screen #2

Hi I have nVidia 9600GT, Vista 64-bit, Intel core2 duo E7400, 4GB RAM, 2 lcds, ultramon.
When I try to run Eve it moves itself from monitor 1 to 2 and runs in fullscreen. Alt-tab moves fullscreen from monitor 2 (where it is not playable due to mouse desync). Second Alt-tab changes to windowed mode on diplay 1 and runs fine until I loose focus on eve window and try to click to eve window again - then my eve panics and moves to monitor 2 in fullscreen with mouse showing few lines higher then it actually is :(
nVidia drivers tested: 181.20, 181.22, Omega drivers based on 169.25. Nothing helps me. Sometimes eve firefox moves to 2nd monitor and is not going back where it belongs :(

The result of me playing about with vista DWM thumbnailling  :

All those windows are live and continue to run even if the eve client isn't maximized - I've used it at some points dual accounting with 2 clients when I can only be bothered to use 1 screen, so I can watch both clients' Shield / Armour / Structure at once / whatever

These pages span over 3 years, and still no real solution from CCP??? Its funny when I searched on Google I got press releases saying stuff like "Eve to be played across multiple monitors", from years ago. What happened? For the sake of our dual monitor cult, please allow EVE to be played on multiple monitors, it would be amazingly useful. I would hope there are others who are still out there who want this done.....

I just found this program when I saw one of the above posters show off Vista DWM thumbnails. Works pretty nice but doesn't seem to be doing click-forwarding correctly. Still will help me avoid losing my ship when I open firefox and forget Eve is running in the background (especially with bugged Eve sound so I cannot hear when I am being shot anymore).

Thank you! Never noticed that option before, lol. That just doubled my framerate for the inactive windowed client.
