Feature request: dual monitor full screen

Open aceeric opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Currently, in full screen, a JME app minimizes on lost focus. It's possible to run windowed to avoid this. It would be nice to be able to run full screen without minimize on lost focus. Here's the use case:

  1. Start a simulation full screen on monitor 1
  2. Press a CTRL key to disengage mouse/keyboard fly-camera-related inputs from sim (sim keeps running)
  3. Click into other related presentation materials on monitor 2
  4. Click the simulation window in monitor 1 to give it focus
  5. Press a CTRL key to re-engage mouse/keyboard fly-camera-related inputs
  6. Repeat

Just to ask the obvious here, are there any reasons that simply never using full screen isn't an acceptable solution (use frameless windowed mode instead)? Not because it wouldn't be nice to work as suggested, but return on dev investment doesn't seem significant enough next to other issues in backlog.

This will require a heavy work on offscreen buffers.
