The screens are running at different resolutions. The internal flat panel is running at its native resolution of 1400x1050, and the external monitor is running at 1024x768 (the highest resolution it supports with a reasonable refresh rate).
I grabbed the screen (actually the window) while the movie was playing on the external monitor. The screengrab was a black screen with the window decorations. When I moved that display over the colorful rectangle, I noticed two things. First, the colorful rectangle was the same size as the inside of the window - not terribly surprising. Second, as I slide the image over the rectangle, the rectangle apparently distorted the image slightly. Once it was in place, the rectangle look as it had without the blank image there. However, as the title bar was sliding across the rectangle, there was an effect similar to a kaleidoscope - multiple copies of something resembling the text moved across the screen. Does this help? Is this what you were looking for? dbr On Tue, 2002-04-09 at 23:11, Vladimir Dergachev wrote: > > > On 9 Apr 2002, David B.
