Jhagiti Tyran	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:12:00 - [1] In REV 3 it would be awesome if it came with dual monitor support and the ability to place elements of the UI or overview on the secondary screen. I dont know if the demand for dual screen is high but it does exist and I'm sure it wouldn't take to much for CCP to add the support.
Zalathar Minmatar Biometaloid INC	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:14:00 - [2] i support dual monitor support! ~~~~~~ mods, if you think i'm ugly please say "eeek!" ~~~~~~ eeeeeekk - Deckard eeeeee...K -Darth Patches gawwwd damn!!1 -zhuge you soo pretty I think you're stunningly handsome and let me just say that you're wearing that dead parrot on your shoulder in a particularly dashing way today. -Hango Your using up all the space hango! - Timmeh
Corsa d'Azur Income Redistribution Service	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:17:00 - [3] Originally by: Jhagiti Tyran I'm sure it wouldn't take to much for CCP to add the support. Out of curiosity what makes you so sure it wouldn't take to much to add the ability to support dual screens?
Brutor Shaun	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:18:00 - [4] I fully endorse and support this idea. Bookmark Idea - My skills
Henry Loenwind	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:21:00 - [5] Basically, as a dual-monitor user, all I want is the possibility to shift the center of the screen to the left or right by some amount of pixels. That's all. It'd also be ok for the 2D-elements to stay where they are, just the 3D part would be enough. (Or in other words: right-drag to the left and hold that permanently.)
Jhagiti Tyran	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:23:00 - [6] Edited by: Jhagiti Tyran on 13/09/2007 19:25:48 Originally by: Corsa d'Azur Out of curiosity what makes you so sure it wouldn't take to much to add the ability to support dual screens? Well I wont pretend to understand even the basics of programing but what makes me sure is that CCP have created despite its problems one of the largest and most complicated games around So I'm sure just adding the ability to drag and drop parts of the UI/overview to another Monitor isn't much of a problem for the developers. I think the mechanism for dual monitor support is largely from the drivers (Only my assumption I dont really know)
Ki Tarra Caldari Ki Tech Industries	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:25:00 - [7] While your at it, add customizable window sizes for windowed mode. ************************** Ki Tech Industries - Bond Offer
Epica Caldari Exiled.	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:32:00 - [8] I support this idea. Me wants to use my second monitor for eve. Not for scouring Ebay for cheap couches ^^ "Death by very big pew pew blasters."

Wagstaff	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:43:00 - [10] Originally by: MellaRinn I swear I saw screenies of people using two or even 3-6 monitors with eve There's hardware that will treat multiple monitors as if it were one big monitor. This can often be done in the video driver of a dual-head video card, and Matrox has some external boxes for splitting one signal across 2 or 3 video cards. From Windows point of view, it looks like a single big rectangular monitor. However, it's nice to keep the seperation between monitors when you're not playing and using your computer for productive work. ;)

I think you can still use it though... just do horizontal spanning on your video card and set the resolution to the max. (eve does go to some pretty impressive resolutions) From Ashes to Ashes... From Dust to Dust....
KsLIVER	Posted - 2007.09.13 19:49:00 - [12] First off...yea, this would be kewl. Second. If you scroll down in the main forum window, there's a whole section about the technologies / features used in eve, including a section on ideas. At the top of the ideas section, there is a most suggested ideas sticky. Take a peek. Might want to post there if you have any suggestions

Dred'Pirate Jesus Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.09.13 23:05:00 - [25] If eve gets native dual monitor support I'd like to see it used for the display of information and not just an extension of the space view.. Think of how nice it would be to have the map open along with all your chat market and other non combat/mining related windows out of the main view..

Cynthia Nixon	Posted - 2007.10.14 03:08:00 - [37] What would really be nice is if the UI elements came up in random positions every time. Try to set up macros on THIS, *****es!! But seriously, the main issue (for those of you listening at home) is that when you use two monitors, your main UI elements get split right across the division between the screens. I.E., it's somewhat unusable.

Could you also change it so selecting a different display adapter in the graphics menu will cause the EVE window (when in windowed mode) to actually be moved to that monitor? Currently it just defaults to the windows primary, and lags everything out till you drag it.

Contralto Gallente A Thorn Industries Corporation	Posted - 2007.10.14 15:12:00 - [46] I saw the Birth of the 1st change to the gui on Sisi today, a new tab in the esc menu. Its called "display" and has some of the old sections of the "graphics" tab, "Graphics" tab now has empty real estate and a sole clickable button labeled "use advanced display" I toggled it while in space but saw no difference. but at least its a start even if a miniscule one. there is also several options for reducing the damage log pop ups during combat, Ie turn off damage popups. show misses show inflicted show incurred and show reduced damage info

Baron Primus Viziam	Posted - 2007.10.14 19:52:00 - [51] When you've got two accounts running, dual monitors is CRUCIAL- especially in EVE window mode. Have one windowed EVE take up the first monitor, second account,second monitor. No brainer. You can actually make a really GREAT 1(?)-man gank squad

CCP you may actually make me go out and buy a new Graphics card and get duel monitor just so i can use this feature! anybody got any helpful sites for setting this op and the hardware required?? could me 6800GT do this?? Im not entirely sure, but I figure so long as you have 2.. For lack of a better word, monitor outlets on the back of your card, it should be able to. I think nvidia drivers come with a dual-monitor wizard or something. You cant really just plug and play. Certainly any of today's cards can handle the workload. EVE is just another reason for you to go and update that card.
TekGriffon	Posted - 2007.10.14 19:58:00 - [53] It would be amazing to have Eve playing on my main monitor and the second monitor display: 1. My chat windows, market information, etc. 2. A zoomed out top down tactical map. 3. The galaxy map. 4. Any combination of the above.

Coret Trobane	Posted - 2007.10.20 21:51:00 - [58] Originally by: Ki Tarra While your at it, add customizable window sizes for windowed mode. You can always just add whatever resolution you want to the drivers in control panel -> display -> settings -> advanced ... eve just offers resolutions (even for windowed mode) which your drivers tell it you can support, and the drivers normally have a very incomplete list. You can also add custom resolutions using the latest version of rivatuner. Anyway ... i'm a dual monitor user, and being able to dump cluttering windows onto a secondary monitor would be awesome

Drizit Amarr Lonely out here Division of Eden	Posted - 2007.10.21 04:35:00 - [66] This idea has been knocking around for a long time. Features and ideas regularly has a thread about it. It would be nice, even if the second monitor was just a blank background for windows/overview etc to be placed. The lack of space in teh viewing area has always been a problem, especially in lowsec and 0.0 where the scanner, local and other associated windows are pretty much essential for survival. The one remaining survival tactic which is visibility is absent. --

Edit: added another support to make it fit with everyone's support for the supported subject support :) i support the supporting of the supporting of the supporting of the supporting of the supporting of the supporting of the supporting of DeadRow's lovely origional comment... but on a side note, what would be kewl is if the dev could make it to where you could select what you wanted on the 2nd mon. i.e. loco/reg-market; topview tactical for fleet support and command isueing; asset management; chat; pretty much anything that is on your screen now that gets in the way of the action, or even waaaay down the dev road even a 2nd view of your ship so you could monitor more than just a 180 of your ship (like main mon is your standard behind the ship view and mon#2 is from the front of your ship so you can monitor whats behind you in combat) and make it so you can switch between that and your management info's or put it into a window itself like a reer-view mirror.

What about putting the UI in a separate thread from the fetchMeSomeData(marketData) calls? So we don't have to wait on the market to update every freaking time we sell something before we can do anything else. -- Support fixing the EVE UI
Xaen Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.10.25 00:21:00 - [80] For the curious: VX922 on the left (fast LCD). 226BW C Panel on the right. Had to use a colorimeter on the 22" to get the colors right, but now they're perfect (a machine did it after all). I typically run all EVE instances on the 22" since I run in dual view mode (two independent displays) and a movie/EFT/EVEMon/Browser on the 19". EVE does not like to run multiple instances on different monitors in dual view. If you try clicking on the game on the secondary monitor it will totally freak out and move it to the other one and change the resolution it's running at and all sorts of crazy annoying things. I just gave up and alt+tab now. -- Support fixing the EVE UI

GAWD that was annoying and I'm ever grateful that it was fixed.

Yes, all players would just love that feature! Originally by: Cynthia Nixon But seriously, the main issue (for those of you listening at home) is that when you use two monitors, your main UI elements get split right across the division between the screens. Yes, addressing that would be the further steps we would be able to take. But you have to admit that we have awesome triple monitor support Why can't you just allow custom resolutions? Matrox box is good but very limited with its resolutions, if you would allow custom resolutions it would fix it for a lot of people. Being able to define a centre point would then fix it for dual monitor users.
