twinview and cover switch

Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:01 pm
When using cover switch on a dual monitor twinview setup, the cover switch spans both screens and makes it somewhat unusable. The box switch does not. Is there a way to configure this behaviour? I'm using KDE 4.7.2.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find any recent posts about this topic.

System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Multiple Monitors -> check "Enable multiple monitor window fullscreen support".

Curious.. it was enabled. When I disable it, it truly spans both screens, but when enabled, the window title (printed below the switcher) is centered on the main screen, but the carousel itself is still spanning both screens, although the horizontal placement differs a little bit between the two.

Hm, it works correctly on my TwinView setup (shows up on the screen containing the mouse cursor). Try to disable and re-enable the option, log out and login again.

Nope.. I think I'll simply wait for 4.8 and see what happens :)
