these are IMHO two orthogonal concepts - the monitor to put the show on, and the specific display settings on that monitor. The current discussion is about the former. And no, I don't think it's safe to assume that we'll never support fullscreen exclusive mode on Windows - the achievable performance gains and the tearing-less frame switching makes this highly desirable. How to cope with form layer and plugins needs to be discussed - possibly, one could simply pop up a warning with "you've selected the sexy fullscreen exclusive mode - your crappy Flash plugin won't work. You have been warned", or somesuch. Or just disable the feature for slideshows with such inappropriate content. Quite generally, I'd prefer a full-blown monitor object, instead of a naked int or a handle, at least for a VCL-wide solution. For the small-scale slideshow-mode-only solution, I'm of course fine with the proposed screen number.
