Full screen mode in X2 and multi monitors ?

Hi, I would like to know what happens when you hit F11 if you use 2 or more monitors ? I use a NVidia graphic card so I can't have a task bar over 2 monitors so I guess that press F11 will make Sonar in full screen only on my main monitor.

    Unless you drag the window over to your secondary monitor before pressing F11. Then it would become full-screen on that monitor.

    Get UltraMon, before I got that, running multiple monitors nearly drove me insane.

    well.. I really hope it'll be possible to have floating windows even though you're in full screen mode.. (would be really strange otherwise, since it works with Sonar maximized) 

    but why would you want to stretch out the window to both monitors, anyway? doesn't the gap between the monitors make it hard to work in a window that stretches from one monitor to the next?

    I just have the main window (track view and inspector) on the left monitor and multidock (with browser, console, pianoroll ect.) on the other one

    Yes floating windows and even MDI windows are supported while in full screen mode - its completely independent from that. You can also have 2 project files open and still be in full screen mode as well.

    Good news, F11 makes Sonar X2 full screen above the 2 screens :).

    If the Windows task bar is taking up room you can auto hide it.

    Best
