DesktopX for secondary screen
Is it possible?
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 by henrikanttonen | Discussion: Customization Software
In most cases, I'd like to use the DesktopX themes in my secondary display rather than in my primary one, but it seems that it always loads in the primary display. Is it possible to set up for the secondary display somewhere?

Yes, it works. Load a DX theme, in builder mode. Move it all to the secondary monitor, save it, and it'll open on the second monitor from now on.

Ok, this is an embarrassingly n00b question but, how do I do that? I tried selecting all and just dragging, but that didn't do anything.

Well, it would depend on the theme. What are you running? If things are locked, you'll have to hold down the CTRL key and click and drag. Be careful not to drag things off their backgrounds.

The success of this approach seems to vary wildly. Is there no way for DesktopX to go natively for the secondary screen?

The success of this approach should work for everyone if it's done correctly. All you have to do is to move everything to the second monitor.
Now, if it has a left side dock, then that part will continue to open at far left, monitor one. This is why I said it depends on what theme you're using.
No, DesktopX has no function to natively go to second screen. DesktopX sees it as one big screen.

I'll look into that. I would think that if you opened it on the secondary, and then saved it there. It should open there next time.
