[QUOTE="priested, post: 217073, member: 3758"] Just a quick update. This solution wound up being nearly perfect for my setup. I ended up using the more robust Actual Window Manager software so I could not only mirror the DMD but also remove the window title and borders. This works very well for all but several tables that do not display the score in the top center. Thankfully those are very few and represent some of the worst tables I rarely, if ever play (Goin' Nuts, Genie, etc.) I will probably end up just using a hot key to move the mirror when I play those tables. I can now automatically change backglasses and display the DMD on a second monitor. I might post some pics of my setup if it would help anyone. I think this goes most of the way toward what I would want in cabinet support anyway so I am no longer waiting in dismay for those features. Thanks again for posting this. It really helped improve my setup. However, I don't know how well it would translate to other pincabs since you have to lose the top 4-5 inches of the display. You really need to be able to mask or cover the DMD on the play field to make this look good. While I look at it as wasted space anyway since it only contains the scoreboard, some might not wish to or be able to lose that display real estate. [/QUOTE]
