[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1489899, member: 145676"] Full screen mode - kinda messes with dual monitor displays. The secondary monitor - will always show a blank grey linen screen when in Fullscreen mode. I haven't found anything but some hackish things that will allow you to use the second screen when your application is in full screen mode. If you want your external display to be the one that displays full screen mode you can go to System Preferences -> Display -> Arrangement -> There you will see a picture of your two monitors. One of the monitors will have a white line on the top. That represents the menu bar - and connotes that - that screen is your primary screen. As you can see - my large thunderbolt display gets the bar -> so that is where the fullscreen window goes to. If you want to use dual screen - then you really can't use full screen mode. Consider getting better touch tool and/or better snap tool. [url=http://blog.boastr.net/]Great Tools For Your Mac By Andreas Hegenberg » BetterTouchTool, BetterSnapTool & SecondBar[/url] Both programs allow Windows 7 type snapping -> so to take up the whole screen just drag the window to the top and it will snap full screen.
