Sadly, Vista and Windows 7 do not currently support "spanned" display mode in their current video drivers. Spanned display mode allows you to combine multiple monitors as one "giant" desktop. (Until ATI Eye-finity can be tested on VP9)

Imagine 2 monitors side by side, each with a 1280x1024 native resolution, in horizontal spanned mode, with a total desktop resolution of 2560x1024, the Windows XP taskbar would be on both monitors. Alternatively, you could have the monitor screens in vertical spanned mode, with a total desktop resolution of 1280x2048.

I believe the VP9 PDF document included in the full install from Nanotech went into some amount of detail how to set this up properly.


Best Regards,
Todd.

bleh... To get it like that basically export the playfield image, resize it to make room for the 'backbox playfield' and reimport the image. Then scale the playfield to match the new image sizing and move the upper playfield from the side to the top.
So get out your calculators, easy.

Normal playfield length is 2162
Add 896 for the backbox playfield to be at the back of the table render.
So, approximately 3058

3058/2162=1.4144310823311748381128584643848

We'll need that number a little bit later so store it in memory.

Set the playfield height to 3058 and group select everything in the editor
Translate it by Y for +896 including the outer wall.

The backbox playfield right side is 1715, the left side is 966.5, to get the width of the backbox playfield, subtract 1715-966.5=748.5 width
The main playfield is a width of 964
Take your 964 and subtract 748.5 and you get 215.5 - divide that by two and you get 107.75 - this is the amount of space that should be on the sides of the upper playfield when done so it's centered.

So, 966.5 (Left side of backbox playfield) -107.75=858.75
The bottom of the backbox playfield is 896, so group select the entire backbox playfield area, and then translate it X: -858.75, Y: -896


Next, export the playfield image, open it in your graphics editor of choice, and multiply the image height (Y) by the number you saved above: 1.4144310823311748381128584643848
Scale it by 1.4144 percent on the Y axis, or scale it to the number of pixels you get from the last calculation - in corel draw it would be paper size, and have it center the playfield at the bottom.
Resave and reimport the image into your modified table and you're done.


If you are taking it from the spanned table as your source, then your backbox playfield will be the same width as your main playfield and some calculations will be different, but that's how this guy did it.
Personally, I don't like the way that looks, but for the minimal effort involved, it's easy enough to accomplish.
