2 Monitor Support

General Discussion

Hello,

sorry if this has been asked before, but does Vassal support (or would in the future) a 2 monitor configuration?

1 for the map itself, another for the rules, additional windows, help text, chat, etc…

Thanks in advance

I’m not sure what you mean by support for a two-monitor configuration.
VASSAL should work with multiple monitors as it is. What are you finding
lacking right now?

Is there a way to set up Vassal so the map-board is for a single monitor, rest of features for the other one?

Under Preferences, there’s a check box for ‘Use combined application window’. It’s checked by default. Uncheck it, click OK, then close and re-start the module.

The map board will now be in a separate window from the chat window/toolbar. If your monitors are set up correctly, you should be able to drag the new map board window to any monitor.

Thank you very much.

I always use multiple monitors, and often just drag the child windows to the other screen, I will have to try this
