Option to blank main screen when viewing on second screen

Nobody answered to my question when I posted it in another thread, so I suppose that's actually not implemented.

I would like to have an option to blank the main screen when I'm playing a movie on the second screen (in full-screen mode).

I'm using vlc to view movies on my projector, connected to my mac with the mini-vga port.
I choose the second peripheral on the video menu of vlc, open the movie and choose full screen, and all work fine.

The only thing is that the main monitor doesn't blank and it's quite disturbing cos is very bright.

Other software like quicktime automatically does this, but I prefer vlc and can't find any option in the preferences or in this forum.

Thanks in advance!
