I was wondering, if i bought a new videocard and buffed up my desktop to 3 x 1024/768 , would i be able to make a whopping triple screen screensaver ?? or even better , Would i be able to create a HUGE area with a network and a few videcards ? Is fenix capable of this business ? what do you think ____________ |

Quoting Nikki: I was wondering, if i bought a new videocard and buffed up my desktop to 3 x 1024/768 , would i be able to make a whopping triple screen screensaver ?? Sure. A window can be on multiple screens at the same time, so if you make the resolution of your program 3072 * 768 you can have it on all 3 screens. I don't think you can maximise the Fenix window though, I'm afraid it will then chose 1 screen. It really depends on your tripple screen setup too, btw. If you get a matrix tripple head to go device you will be able to have a full screen window over all 3 screens, because it takes your 3 screens as if it were one. Read more on a 3 monitor setup in this great article. Quote: or even better , Would i be able to create a HUGE area with a network and a few videcards ? Is fenix capable of this business ? what do you think Do you mean having the same program on multiple computers cooperating over a network? That sounds like something I was going to do on my ex-school network. I had planned to make a screen saver that would cover the whole computer room with stuff running all across, but I never got to it. It's possible with a network dll (preferably Sandman's  ).

So this triplehead2go's downside is actually an upside in Fenix, that is interresting, so instead of a desktopbeast a laptop would suffice probably. Cool, And so why you never managed to get the network multiscreensaver up and running ? And.. would you still be interrested in making something like this ?

Quote: And so why you never managed to get the network multiscreensaver up and running ? Well, Sandman's network dll didn't exist back then so I was using the undocumented net.dll which required a bit of an effort, and before I got to finish it things got busy and I finished and left school. The program was meant as screensaver for the computer labs at school. Quote: And.. would you still be interrested in making something like this ? Not really, it doesn't have much use for me now. I'd like to see how it turns out though if you would make something similar. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |
