Fullscreen problem on extended screens

Postby gba » 26 Jan 2016 22:24

Hello!

I am using VLC 2.2.1 on Windows 8.1 and on Windows 10.
I've tried several skins (default, darklounge_vlc_1.0, darkvoodoo and itunes graphite).
But when I extend my screen to a second one, move the VLC window into the second screen and maximize the window, VLC is always maximized in the main screen.
Only if I am using no skin but the native style, maximizing the window on the second screen is working.

How can I maximize VLC using a skin on an extended screen?
Thank you very much for any useful hint in advance!

Kind regards,
Gerald

This feature is not implemented in the skin engine.
Unlike fullscreen that now supports mulitple screens, maximising a window is still very basic and the main screen is hardcoded as being the targeted screen.
Yet, it should be easy to code this new feature, since it already exists for fullscreen.

A patch has just been applied in the dev branch that fixes the issue. Tested successfully with Windows10.
A nightly build can usually be downloaded the next day, but unfortunately, new nightly builds haven't been issued for the last few weeks ....
The fix will be available with the vlc3.0.0 branch once nightly builds resume.
