Docking full screen controls and background changing

Postby pingpong1109 » 04 Jul 2016 19:13

Is there a way to dock the full screen controls on a different screen so it doesn't disappear or go back to the other screen. Also how do I change the traffic cone to a black screen on Linux. This is for a media server.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can split the video from the control. You can change it to blackscreen in preferences.

I realize I can have the controls float but they fade away and I want them to stay. I looked in preferences for changing the background and I couldn't find it in preferences that is why I asked here.

No, if you split them, they don't fade.
