Please CCP fix support for multiple displays. Playing Eve at the moment is like looking at a bunch of spread sheets, completely cluttered if you want to know what's going on. What's the point of nice graphics if they are hidden behind tons of windows.
Support for a second display would greatly improve the game experience. I could put all my cluttering windows there.

Multihead support plz! Even playing in 2560x1600 gets cluttered.
* Don't care if it means having to play in windowed mode.
* Don't care if it means additional windows aren't all fancy and graphical (totally unnecessary for chat windows at least they could go elsewhere).
* Don't care if it means having multiple Eve 'master' windows/viewports and a right-click/menu way to bounce chat/market/info/etc windows between them (as long as they remember which one they were on next session).
Just get them off the main viewing window and onto another screen for the love of $deity! This is currently Eve's greatest fail feature.
Srsly now, Supreme Commander, MS Flight Sim, World in Conflict, Burnout Paradise, X2:The Threat all support it. So did DOOM 1.0! (OK so that used seperate computers over a network but still...). It really is a most glaring omission and would set Eve apart from almost every other game on the market.

Would love to be able to have EVE spanning across both displays (with the view made off-centre so my ship isn't cut in half, of course). Either that or the ability to use the second monitor as a 'scratch space' where I can dump all my chat windows etc., leaving my main view much clearer.
For LOTS more (13 pages) support on this idea http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=475242
C'mon CCP - are you even reading these threads?

+1 here.
I use multiple monitors since 1998 and never left it. But afaik, the eve client does not entirely support it (you can start the client spanning 2 monitors, but the game window will be simply split).
Yes, CCP MUST (please pretty please?) enable some kind of serious multimon support, so we can drag windows, overview, chat etc to a second monitor and keep the main screen for flying.

Dual Monitors is a must for any pc user anyway even without eve, i have dual monitors on my desk at home, i have 4 at work and i even baught a new monitor for my nan so i could have dual screens when i visit 
But with eve its realy easy to setup: at home i have 1 17" square monitor and 1 19" wide monitor and i have eve running on both simply by selecting the other monitor and the screen res and window mode, with the use of WGR i can then push the windows into the corners hiding the to bar. the only down side(realy is the only one) there is a line down the middle there the windows overlap there borders but thats it 
(edit)
Another one i tried was dual span, and i ran eve like that for about an hour, before you could move the capacitor around and it looked a bit like this http://dogg-soldiers.com/uploads/images/huge.jpg which btw is awesome.
but i think it would be better with 3 on a span...

I had a hard time playing around with two 22' monitors until I managed to find that option in Evemon. It really solves that problem, you should use it.

The EVE Windowed Mode Helper was made to address the multiclient-multimonitor issue, check it out, now it allows you to change clients from one monitor to another without closing any eve client window.
If you find it useful and care to make any suggestion about new features, feel free to do so. If i like the idea i'll code it in a few minutes.
Regards and fly safe (or don't :)

+1 to this to because id love to be able to drag my chat windows onto one of my other screen's especially now as the new IGB works. Let me have my screen for the game and my screen for the other stuff needed to play the game.
Give me window mode if you must with seperate dragable windows for chat box's, or full screen spanned across multiple screens with 1 screen for the ui and one for the windows/map/market data etc.

Incidentally do's anyone know any other tools that support the dwm thumbnailing? that OnTopReplica one works nicely but the one feature that would make it pure win click forwarding (or even typing etc) doesnt seam to work.

+1 for Multiple Monitors
All they need is to put all the overlay windows on one, and use the other for the viewport. They already allow you to switch the monitor that's fullscreen, so that's good.
By the way, switching the fullscreen to the other monitor, and then canceling it at the confirm window, crashes the system AND changes the monitor. :)

I would like to support the call for multiple monitor support! Thought I saw a twitter about this while watching the fan fest live on streaming - is it actualy something that is due in Dominion?

As someone mentioned, there is a short bit on multi-monitor support in the keynote from Fanfest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNhPig8inEY
Sorry, I didn't note the time it appeared.
What was shown was 3 monitors with some special hardware (Triple head, Matrox thingy?). Hopefully there will be other ways to achieve the same effect with other setups. As I understand it, the work CCP have done is to make the engine fast enough for this to work.

I've played EVE on dual monitors for a few years now (2x 1280x1024). Nothing to it.
The problem is not so much in the client, as it is in Windows' handling of the desktop and screens. CCP can do nothing about the fact that Windows will not allow programs to span both screens simultaneously in fullscreen.
NVIDIA has a workaround for this in their drivers, called twinview.
Under wine it's trivially easy to set the virtual desktop resolution to your total screen size, and in fullscreen EVE will just add that resolution (2560x1024 for me) to the list of possible sizes. I select it and it works perfectly.

I think EVE has all the tech in there already. The simply need to render the game action graphcis in a seperate window. This way you can move it around freely.
Having Eve spanned over two montiors would then works well having the action on one side and the chats/information UI on the other.

Except Supreme Commander had this functionality for who knows how long. In fullscreen.

They are going to release multiple monitor in Dominion. They said so at fanfest (with a three monitors view).
No more than one signature image may be used. Edo |

Supreme Commander (Released early '07) can span accross two monitors, full screen, in XP, Vista and In7, on both ATi and nVidia cards, and even supports different resolutions on the two screens. I believe that World At War and a few other RTS games are able to do this too. Multiple monitors is hardly something new, and is something EVE really should get in on.
I'm definitely a +1 for multiple monitor support, especially if it can support screens of different resolutions (eg 24" + 22" or 22" + 19"). The Matrox TripleHead2Go option is kinda nice, but it's expensive, and CCP should be able to implement dual-screen support without having to resort to 3rd party hardware. Plus, not all of us WANT 3 monitor.

Wouldn't using the nVidia span thingie cause everything to be in the center of the 2 screens (So right where they split) afaik you cant move the HUD etc. (Yet).

I'm experimenting with some software called Maxivista, which lets you use your laptop as an extension of your desktop monitor.
This would be perfect for having the map, market, local etc open on the laptop screen without cluttering the main window. Problem is that Eve doesn't seem to want to allow windows to move outside the primary screen.
Has anyone achieved multiple monitor set ups with Eve? How did you do it?
Thanks
Yes. This is my desk.
First of all, spanning on Vista, is not possible, compared to XP. They changed the graphics to the WDDM, which does not allow for spanning so technically running full screen on multi-monitor setups (any game) does not work right away.
I made this work by chainsawing one of my available PCI-Express x1 slots to make another PCI-E graphic card fit in (very cheap one, GeForce 8400GS, 30 Euro). I needed to do this since my GeForce 9800 GTX+ only fits two screens. With the other card in, I can now connect up to 4 normal screens, plus 2 on S-Video if I wanted.
Next thing you need is a nifty little thing called SoftTH - Software Triple Head. It allows for some configuration options and ultimately forces DirectX applications to use a higher resolution than what Vista normally allows for. SoftTH lets the whole image render on your primary card, then divides the image into three and sends it to their right screens.
This is how I achieved it. I can run the game in 5760x1080 without FPS performance loss.

Hi guys,
I used to run eve on 2 monitors, was easy to setup eve gave me the option with out
a big deal. That was with win.xp but no i have win7 and it refuses me to give me the option in eve. All ican do now is switch between monitors by selecting 2 versions of my vidcard. Strange thing is that i keep windows desktop on the other screen. Usualy it turns on black/standby. If got the latest driver for the videocard. Any one out there
with the same problem or knows how to help me out? Plz let me know 'cos 1 screen sucks :P o/

EVE is awesome.
Most important improvement, to me?
"Single EVE client, multiple monitors, in Vista."
That's what I want.

i was running of a 22" monitor, then i got a projector that was cool but found it hard to read the chat channels, despite being a massive 100" screen, the chat channels were hard to read, but after much messing about i finally settled on 2 monitors, with 2 clients windowed, one in each monitor, having tried just about everything except a triple head, which in all honesty doesn't appeal to me anyway i can conclude the easiest solution for me was the dual monitors, if i need markets open(obviously read only) and chat channels i keep those on my alt who is in the same region as me anyway, that way i just keep local open on main, corpies are getting used to me talking from alts.
modal windows would be an obvious feature to add i would think, eve's OS is pretty crap to be honest.

/signed +1 requesting multiple monitors.
3 Monitors as described earlier would definately keep the ship from being cut down the middle, but at a descreased framerate. So, I might surrender some astetics for multiple displays.
