in a multi-monitor system (windows 7) , when I use a skin and use the skins fullscreen, it forces the view onto the primary screen.
That is:
- have a multi-screen system
- start VLC in default mode on second monitor
- choose a skin that allows full-screen
- (restart vlc if needed)
- select full screen mode.
- what I see at this point is full screen on main monitor (my left).

If I start VLC on main, it goes full-screen on main.

any ideas?

It´s because you cannot give a relative margin to a window layout. Moving the Fullscreen Controller one time to the right position, should fix this issue.

doing what to what? Im just trying to use them as is. Whats a full screen controller and margin?

Move the Player to the second Monitor and activate the fullscreen while have a skin activated. Position should be saved from now on.

Didn't work.

I opened the main VLC in my secondary monitor. I changed preferences-interface to allow skins, choose iPhone skin, closed and opened vlc. dbl-click to full screen. full went back to primary monitor. OK that failed. Closed vlc and moved vlc to open on primary monitor, closed and reopened, full screen to primary as expected. close Full screen, moved vlc to secondary monitor, again full screen.. view went back to primary monitor.

any other ideas? Is it a skin thing? That is, do some skins have this bug and others perform correctly?

cheers

Can you try this with another skin? (You can klick in my signature, or try from http://www.videolan.org/skins.php)
I thinks its a skins2 thing, the skin engine behind vlc. (like i described in the first post)

This multi-monitor thing is a skins2 issue (skins2 engine). In that respect, the qt4 interface does things that the more basic skins2 engine doesn't do. This can be added to the feature request list.
