Re: ScreenSaverView with multiple displays

I'm not trying to make this thread a useless "me too" forum, but "me too". I've had and continue to have 2+ monitors since it was possible (Mac II days). My wife runs two monitors... my parents run two monitors (and they aren't graphics artists or developers). Most of the people I know run 2 monitors.

All that having been said, consider that other very popular screen savers handle the case of multiple monitors. Aquarium II (the only screen saver I've felt like running in many years) does an excellent job by creating two different collections of fish, but compromises by keeping the same background image.

Spend the time and effort to handle the situation and others will notice, use, and (if done well) recommend your solution to others.

Good luck,
Lance

While it probably is
pretty uncommon for someone to have three or monitors,

Bad assumption.. I've used three monitors since 1995. (two monitors before then since 1988)..

Okay, I'll admit that I only got the third for A-10 Attack, but I've been addicted ever since..
One monitor shows what the user sees, one monitor for source, one monitor for active debugger.


But I do know personally 3 other engineers, and two graphic designers who also use three monitors..

So by the "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" rule, it's statistically much more common than you think =)

Same here! I ran 3x Apple 20" MS from 1995-2003; down to 2x when one died (that was a rough transition period, lemme tell ya). I'll be ordering 2x 30" Cinema, once Apple announces the new G5 Quadra... ;)
