[QUOTE="mboisso, post: 938547, member: 130627"] Hello, I am using dual screen, and Mac OS X has proven to be a really painfull experience up to now. I explain myself. I have two possible setups : 1- I use my laptop only. 2- I use my laptop connected to an external 24in monitor. Everyday, when I connect the external monitor, I need to dispatch applications that are opened myself : I move Thunderbird and Sunbird to the laptop screen, I move Firefox to the external screen, iTerm to the external screen, maximize the windows, etc... When I disconnect the external monitor, I need to do the opposite... move all the windows one by one to fit the laptop screen. Moreover, every morning, I need to reconfigure the external screen position because, by default, Snow Leopard puts it in a "side-by-side" configuration, while I want to use it in a "top-bottom" configuration (external monitor on top of the laptop). I am getting quite annoyed by all of this. Is there any way to have the OS remember the **** configuration ? I would also be satisfied by a third-party program that would do that. This is SO unhelpfull the way it is handled right now... [/QUOTE]
