[Pharo-dev] dual screen - was Re: vm fixes

[btc]

If I have dual monitors, of course when the OS spans them into a single display, then of course I can drag Pharo open across both monitors, but that is not ideal.  Alternatively, if Pharo could open two native-OS-windows, then I could full-screen one on each monitor, which would be really cool.  Recently there was a discussion on a mail list that I now can't find, about someone evaluating Pharo and that was a critical requirement to port an existing application.  For my purposes, I am thinking a fair way ahead to a SCADA platform when an industrial plant operator has two or more screens dedicated to a graphical mimic of each part of the operating plant, running from the one image.  [1] has another use case.

The cool part is that the rest of the code do not change at all, and still it opens a the good size, the title is properly updated etc Ben On May 14, 2013, at 10:28 PM, Tudor Girba <tu...@tudorgirba.com <mailto:tu...@tudorgirba.com>> wrote: This sounds intriguing.
