Hi

 

I have setup with second display for backglass and DMD (1600x1200 display), I set it up:

 

1600 x  900 = backglass UP

1600 x 300 = DMD  BOTTOM

 

Everything works nice but some of tables doesn't use DMD (Cyclone, AbraCadabra, Cartoons 2017), so in this tables backglass should be set to full page (1600x1200). 

 

Now I have screenres file in visual pinball/tables/ root (so it is shared by all the tables).  How to manage games that should be run another way?

this is exactly what I was looking for - thank you! 

 

I'm  wondering about the "Bring BG Form to Top" option, can it be set globally for every table? 
I often have a problem with the hidden backglass.... I have to use alt+tab from the keyboard which is very uncomfortable. I can see that the "Bring BG Form to Top" option set for a specific table helps. But how do I turn it on for all tables?

In the table folder you will find this file B2STableSettings.xml

Make a backup of the file 1st

Add this to the top section in the File -     <FormToFront>1</FormToFront>  and it will become part of the default

Then erase all the games that are in there and when you run the game it will automatically me in their....

This should work as far as I know
