What are other people doing? > Is there some other way of doing this? use priority. basically the MAIN screen is the one with the highest priority of all screens around at the time. using this you can assign your external screen with a higher priority than the internal one. this means you can have your main screen MIGRATE to the external screen when plugged in (and migrate back in when unplugged)... screens are ordered from highest to lowest priority in the list of screen 0, 1, 2, 3, ... etc. and screen 0 is your "primary" screen - then in order of priority down the list... set up priorities right and you can have screen 0 and thus its wallpaper and its shelf and all its content migrate from screen to screen as you see fit. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
