thinking out loud...2nd screen monitors

Post by assassin32 »

I use an external monitor to provide for the singers. I had to use a different (higher resolution) monitor a few nights ago. I had SKP crash a couple of times (ongoing unresolved issue), and when I relaunched, my windows positioning was all out of whack.

I am guessing that if I use a different monitor, I should save my settings in a different .zip file.
does this make sense?

I will test my theory out.

Next time the second screen is "messed up" try pressing F twice (first one will exit fullscreen, the second time will put it back in fullscreen) This should fix the issue of it not being in the right spot.

I find that this only happens when Siglos is started without the TV hooked up.

I should mention that if you're using the default setting, SKP should figure out the resolution of the screen you're trying to connect to. I use a custom resolution on mine that is set for a little bit smaller than 1080p so things don't get cut off on the edges of the screen.

When I connect to a 4k monitor for the first time, windows assumes I want to use 4k and the SKP singer's screen only takes up the top left 1/4 of the screen so I have to change the output resolution in windows settings to 1080 so I don't need to change any settings in SKP.

Hopefully that makes sense.
