Displaying a window rather than the entire screen
I have a rather unusual set up. I have 3 screens. On two of them is two full screened windows displaying two different graphs which are being updated live. On the third is some other windows which are unimportant. At the moment, if I use the ScreenTask application it tries to show all 3 screens at the same time creating a very squished and distorted output. Instead, I would like it to either show just both graphs, or to show one graph for a period of time (eg. 20 secs. but be nice if this was variable) then the other for an equal period of time, and continue to alternate back and forth.
Would this require significant modification to the code? I have 0 experience with C#.
@dave1901 : Thank you very much for your feedback, Currently, you can only select one screen to show, using this custom version download here I think you can open multiple instances of the application and start it with different port for each screen, but you have suggested a nice feature I will add it to my backlog for the next version of this app.
Thanks for your help. I downloaded the Custom version and tried sending it through two different ports. However, the program fails when I run two instances of the application because both are trying to access 'ScreenTask.jpg'. I assume I would need to modify the code a little so that having two of the same application running doesn't cause them to clash, but I'm not 100% sure how to do that.
I also tried using the the button to change screen but it doesn't seem to work. It recognizes that i have three screens, but when I select 'Display 3' for example, it still continues to display 'Display 1.

Ah the Display switcher does work, you just have to have 'Capture Mouse Pointer' selected.
@dave1901 Cool, good to know that you made it to work, for now, you can just clone the application folder into another location and open it with the different port so you can have two instances running without the ScreenTask.jpg problem. and keep me updated.
Hey, It still crashes instantly when I open up a second instance of ScreenTask, even when I clone it to a different folder, and try to change the port number. I may be doing is wrong.
I've downloaded it all into Visual Studio and am slowly trying to modify the code to send two (of my three) screens to different urls at the same time.

Thought I had it going well with being able to select which screen to display and have two servers running from two ports. But now I seem to have changed something and now the picture only updates when I click refresh on chrome. I believe its a problem with 'var ctx = await serv.GetContextAsync' not getting a 'Client Certificate', but I don't know how to fix it. The image produced on chrome has now also lost the surrounding stuff ('About', 'Project on GitHub', etc.)

Run Two ST Instances for each display, different Port. Install 1- Original ST on Apache Web Server with ST on Root Folder. PORT 90 Edited HTML so Click on Image Goes to /NAME
2nd Install ST 2nd Display within /NAME Port 91 Edit HTML so Image clicked goes back to Root.
Strip HTML if needed for clean installation no Menus etc. Make Image 95% Width.
Apache Server Takes Load away from Memory on ST.
Tested on 50 Users at once over ubqiuiti Software, 3rd gen i7 Laptop.
