Hi all,

We have got a secondary touch screen monitor in our studio for use of instant carts. We want to utilise this by getting the instant carts screen on to the touch monitor itself but I am struggling slightly... can anyone help/tell me how to go about doing it? 

Thank you

Phil is correct.

In the latest version of Myriad (v4), you can choose the order that the other tabs are displayed in, so if you want Instant Carts more than Audiowall, you can make that the first tab.

To truly get Myriad to operate in dual screen, you have to Set up Windows so that it is 2 Displays and that the picture is not duplicated but Extended onto the second Monitor - the way to do this varies by Video Card manufacturer, but normally can be done in the Windows display options.

Mr Edmonds, focus is always the problem. When you have a mouse (or a touch device), if you are not clicking within an active Window the application gets no instructions, and you sometimes have to click twice - once to focus the window, then to apply the action. That is why we stopped the dock able Windows - they were a nightmare to keep focus. There is nothing more annoying tan pressing GO on your PS2 Myriad Keyboard, only for nothing to happen - this again a lot of the time is focus.

So one large Window (with the odd occasional pop out Windows, such as jump, move and SegEdit) makes keeping track of user clicks much easier.
