Separate only one screen on mission control?

Is there a way to seperate just 1 of my screens from the rest in Maverick? I have 4 screens. 3 monitors are essential meant to be one large work area. I will often use a program with a canvas spread across 2 screens and one for control panels. My 4th screen is a 140" projection monitor on the other side of the room. I would love to separate ONLY the projection monitor. I can then use this monitor to watch movies on etc, and not have it effected when im switching between desktops on my other 3 screens. Seperating them all creates a huge workflow problem since i use the other 3 as one large chunk of real estate and dont want them seperated at all.
Any options here???

No one has any idea how to do this?

Unwanted screen heading(Tab) in a screen set having only one screen.

Hello Experts,
We are at the initial phase of go live of SAP Work Manger-6.0 for one of our client.
We found one strange behaviour as mentioned below.
We have one screen set(at bottom),which is part of a tile view(contains two screen sets), The screen set at bottom contains only one platform(Ipad) and only one detail screen(buttons at the bottom of the screen).
It works perfectly fine but sometimes the look and feel gets distorted, which causes an issue to the end users.
I mean, some times the screen appears as a tab with a black row and a blank yellow box(as highlighted in red in the 2nd screen). Which reduces the size of the screen and hence the buttons become very small in size.
Details :-
SMP Server-2.3 SP05
SAP Work Manger-6.0
Agentry Client-6.1.5.49 (WPF)
PFA screen shots for both the cases.
1. expected look and feel.
2. Unwanted look and feel.
We need your expert advice to resolve this issue, Please help!!
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Thank you so much Bill!!
This setting is already there.

Please suggest, If you are referring any thing else.

When two screens are open, how do I close only one screen?

When the site opens screen A sometimes has user open screen B. When user finishes screen B and desires to return to screen A, the x in the upper right corner is chosen, a message appears you are about to close 2 screens however user only wants screen B to close. I cannot find a way to close only screen B. How do I close only screen B?

Hi:
When you talk about ''screen A and screen B'', are you referring to tabs on the top of your screen in Firefox? Because to close those, you:
# click on the tab
# while in the tab, go to the top of it at the top of your screen
# hover over it
# you shoould now see an "x" at the rightmost side of the tab. Now click on that to only close that tab.
Were you referring to that? Thanks for your patience!

I have never tried modding the Firefox window maximized to dual screen. But simply enough to let your Firefox displayed in both screen, you can minimize the Firefox window and just drag it across the next screen. Therefore you can let the browser displayed in both screen but not maximized.

Cisco Profile 52/55 Dual - displays video on only one screen after software upgrade 7.1.4

Hi,
I've upgraded the Profile 52/55 Dual system to TC 7.1.4 and it no longer shows video on both screens during a conference. It displays content on the second screen fine. It worked in version 6 so I wonder if something changed in the software or the endpoint requires some additional configuration.
I've checked settings under Configuration > System Configuration > Video > Monitors and it's set to Dual. I've changed it few times and set it back to Dual but this didn't resolve the issue. I can't see any dual screen option key added under system information but I assume it has a dual screen option hence it's a dual screen system.
Do I need to change any settings?

Hi Patrick
Thank you very much for your response.
The system doesn’t have a remote control as such, it’s an MX700 so it has the 10inch touch panel, I had some engineers onsite attempting to bring the self-view image up using the panel but the only image that they managed to retrieve was a self-view PIP on the main image.
If I change the self-view settings in the configuration nothing appears to happen on the codec, the second monitor will only display the presentation, it’s as if the system is stuck in dual screen presentation only, even though when I set the system to dual screen, flick it back to single screen, set it to dual screen, back to the same situation no image unless there is a presentation being sent.
I have ensured that these settings are forced on the system
xconfig Video Monitors: Dual
xconfig Video CamCtrlPip CallSetup Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault OnMonitorRole: Second
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault FullscreenMode: On
But no matter what I do I am unable to get the behaviour that I expect, this is why I have posted on this forum, I seem to think that the problem may be related to a software bug, however I am unable to downgrade as that would stop the control panel from working (this system doesn’t have a remote), and I see no mention of a second monitor issue reading the release notes, I have checked the online bugs and cannot find anything there either. so I am wondering if someone in Cisco has any idea as to what is happening here.
I thought about trying to use TC console to see if I could force a layout via this tool / or at least see what layouts are on the system, however the TC console version 6 will not connect to this system (I think this is more firewall related than system, as standard telnet and ssh attempts fail also).
Again I appreciate any and all assistance provided greatly, I am completely baffled as to what is happening here.
Cheers

Dual screen : shutdown only one screen

Hi everybody !
First thing, please excuse me if my english isn't very good.
I've got an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz with 20" screen, and a videoprojector as a second monitor.
I would like to totally shutdown the iMac scree when, for example, I'm watching a movie on the videoprojector.
But I don't know how to do it... and I don't even know if it's possible.
With "DVD Player", there is an option to have the other screen all in black... but I can still see the iMac sreen isn't shutdown (it's not totally black).
I tried LightMe, but it shutdown both of the screens.
So, do you knwo what could I do ? Except put something on the iMac to hide its screen.
Thanks.

There is not a way to turn off the iMac monitor screen. This has been asked a number of times before and no one has figured it out yet. I just cover up my screen with an acmemade screen cover made specifically for the iMac. They put vents in the cover to prevent heat build up.

How to darken only one screen in a dual screen setup ??

Hi All,
I have a dual screen set-up probably like many of you and sometimes I prefer to use LR only on 1 screen. That allows me to work on Photoshop or read my emails or whatever else I'd prefer to do on the other screen. My dilemma is when in Lightroom & I press the letter L to darken the screen around my image, for better viewing, it also darkens the other screen that I'm working with. Is there a way to prevent both screens from darkening?? Thanks Ron
PS: Apologies if this has been addressed previously as I could not locate it

Thank you digitaldog, I didn't think so either

Share only one screen in iMessages

I often screen share with colleagues, but they have two monitors and this makes the screen of relevance very small on my screen.
Is there any way to share just one of the screens in iMessages? Skype, for example, gives the monitor to share as an option.

Thank you digitaldog, I didn't think so either

MISSION CONTROL, LAUNCHPAD, and FULL SCREEN APPS (one month later)

I'm pretty good embracing a new thing when it comes along. I downloaded LION the day it come out, which was over a month ago at this point. On that day, I immediately found MISSION CONTROL and LAUNCHPAD both uninituitve and pointless. Unhandy iCandy. And of FULL SCREEN APPS? Not necessary on an iMac anyway.
So I quickly sought out quick solutions to 'fix' these new features. Launchpad and full screen apps have the advantage that they can be simply ignored. This is a good thing. Mission Control, on the other hand, got in the way of a beloved feature for me: what was once SPACES and EXPOSE. That is, I couldn't simply ignore MC because I still needed the previous helpful features in Snow Leopard.
My solution was kind of surprising and eye-opening. It's complicated to explain but I thought I'd share. This conclusion is likely best suited for someone not using a small screened Mac. It turns out that most users (with big enough screens) don't really need Mission Control, Launchpad, Spaces, or Full Screen apps.
At all.
Let's go through that conclusion, one by one:
FULL SCREEN APPS
If you have a relatively big screen (20 iMac for instance), why do you need Safari full screen? Unless you intend to sit across the room from the computer, no reason. And there's lots of bright empty space when you do this. Do you need the Mail app full screen? If you need reading glasses, maybe, but otherwise, nope. I find it's easier just to stretch out an app pretty big and leave it at that.
Full screen apps DO offer a nice feature which is making your desktop, menubar, and dock go BYE BYE. I can see where sometimes this is a useful feature, but typically -- NOPE. Typically I want access to my dock (to switch between open apps without the added step of cancelling full screen first), and typically I want access to my menubar so that I can glance up and see what time it is or find an app menu quickly.
The only feature I find worthy of praise with full screen apps is that they hide the clutter on your desktop. But there's an app in the Mac App Store which makes your desktop icons vanish with the touch of a button (CAMOUFLAGE). I mean, what's the point of a wallpaper if you bury it with desktop clutter or eliminate it with full screen apps? If it's a busy and distracting wallpaper, umm... you picked bad wallpaper.
LAUNCH PAD
LAUNCH PAD offers an iOS experience inside OS X. At first I thought it was completely silly. After a month now, I kinda get why it's there. Kinda.
You see, before LP, to duplicate it's functionality, you'd have to organize folders yourself. Put folders of various apps together. Place them somewhere in the finder heirarchy. Then drag those folders into the part of the dock with the trashcan. Then you could click them open and have access to similarly themed folders of apps. The problem here, of course, is that unless you're a power user, you'll never do this.
So Apple thought, AH-HA, we'll just drag into OS X a paradigm that users already get from iOS. Clumping apps together any way you like them. The misfire, if you ask me, is not allowing users to drag the new iOS folders straight into the dock when finished. That is to say: copies of said organized folders. It's as if Apple's software people have complete contempt for the dock -- and are desperate to have users abandon it.
My problem is that I like having folders in my dock of stuff I need. It just works, as Steve says. Going to the same EXACT place every time I need anything is more intuitive and graceful than ADDING an app called Launchpad that launches you into a different finder altogether. Makes zero sense and THIS is why I say, like FULL SCREEN APPS, LP can basically be abandoned.
By the way: need proof that Apple has complete contempt for the Dock?
MISSION CONTROL/SPACES
A month has passed since MC was introduced and SPACES was eliminated. I dare anyone to tell me why either is needed at all. Before you get iMiffed, humor me for a moment and hear me out.
The notion of SPACES was that it's a neat way to keep like minded open apps together. I totally bought into this, back in the day. So much so that I was iMiffed when it was gone in Lion. But let's look at this closer.
The REASON why we needed SPACES was that we could have WAY too many windows open at once on a Mac. Right? A big mess of windows covering each other up. Suppose you're surfing in Safari but need iTunes? But iTunes is hidden. So what did you do? You went to Spaces as step one, moused over to your iTunes space as move two, and then clicked it as move three. Seems like a great solution until the day you discover that you could simply click on iTunes in the dock as move one and arrive at iTunes. As one step. Period. Really simple, right?
Why have Spaces and apps dance around when you can just click the app you want and be done with it? That's the critical observation to make in order to follow my entire line of reasoning. Sure, it may look really cool and make Windows machines look like junk, but at the end of the day, why add two steps to something you might do 100 times a day -- switching between apps.
So why OH why did Apple add Spaces? Simple: because too many apps were visible at once in one 'desktop' window. So if you can build many new desktops, there might only be one or two in each. Great solution. Right?
Wrong, as it turns out. Because we still have the two extra steps. It's a weak solution. And it's in complete contempt of the Dock, which as it turns out, offers the strongest solution.
The strong solution would be that only one app is visible in your Mac's window at all times. Say you're in Safari. Despite having 12 other apps open, you only see Safari. Your dock tells you that you have other apps open, but nothing else sits in your window BUT the app you're using. So you want to go to iTunes? So click on it in the dock and Safari vanishes and iTunes emerges by itself. No other windows. What could be simpler? (This app is freeware known as ISOLATOR.)
If you download and try ISOLATOR, you'll say, umm, okay, but wait: sometimes I do want more than one window in view. Okay, fine, turn it off then. From the handy menu bar menu. I find that 98% of the time I need ISOLATOR on. Mileage may vary.
So let's recap. One third party software removes distracting desktop clutter, the other removes distracting app windows. Both can be toggled on and off from the menu bar. One is free, one costs $2. These two solutions remove the only real feature of FULL SCREEN APPS and make SPACES and it's newfangled cousin MISSION CONTROL pointless.
Need that last one explained? Well, what's Mission Control but a variant of spaces? To invoke MC and switch to the needed window are those same two annoying steps Spaces added into the mix. Nothing was fixed. Plus, like spaces, you must invest time and energy organizing such spaces.
Why bother? And so I ask again: can somebody who's read and tried the above carefully explain to me why Mission Control, Launchpad, and Full Screen Apps are really needed at all? (Outside of small screened Macs.) Doesn't the dock and these two sharewares together solve most problems?
Am I missing something?

I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

Moving apps in mission control over multiple screens

Hey all, is it at all possible to move applications through mission control between screens? In Spaces this was no problem, but with Mission Control they seem to have botched this up.
So, I open mission control, i see MC running on both screens, then I want to grab a window, and move it to a 'space' on my other screen. Pretty straightforward stuff. Not a problem in Spaces. Seemingly impossible in MC.
Am i overlooking something?
regards,
cor

Yes, I completely agree. I can't see how to see minimized programs in MC either and it is extremely annoying.
Another annoyance is programs appear in different places from one use of Mission Control to another a few seconds later.

How to maintain order of Full Screen and non Full Screen apps in Mission Control

Hey guys, so i've gotten used to Full Screen Apps now, but as a power user who was used to Spaces, I like my windows to be in a specific order. 10.7.2 was great in that we can now re-arrange our screens in Mission Control, however, as soon as I do a restart, Lion reverts to having desktops on the left, and full screen apps on the right (i.e., it doesn't keep the order in which I left them before the restart). Now this really bugs me because by using the swipe feature, I want to know EXACTLY what app is to the left or right of me, as opposed to just turning on the "Order screens by most recent use" option, which I find to be too chaotic and unorganized. Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Below of pics of how I would like Mission Control to look like, and how it looks like after a restart.
How I'd like for Mission Control to look like: (Desktops and Full Screen Apps intermingling)
How Lion re-arranges Mission Control after a restart: (Full Screen Apps to the right)

Shift-CMD-F toggles full screen off and on in Fx. Also, if you've put the Full Screen icon in the Firefox Toolbar, bring the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen. This will reveal the toolbar and you can click on the icon to return to normal.
Get the icon from View>Toolbars>Customize. Drag it into the Toolbar somewhere.

X11 dual head - want to get window manager (gnome) on one screen only

What I want sounds simple, but I just can't get it done... Hope anyone is able to help me!
What I've got:
Four monitors (two at each of my nVidia graphic cards). Both devices are configured using nVidia's Twinview, giving me two virtual screens (:0.0 and :0.1).
I can use xinerama to get one huge desktop, but this doesn't work well, as the borders between two screens of the same device are no longer recognized in this case, causing windows to always span over two monitors on maximization.
I can also not use xinerama, giving me two independant gnome session.
What I want:
I want gnome to only start on one screen (i.e. two monitors), leaving the other screen blank but available. They don't need a WM as they will run nothing but a fullscreen mplayer or an xterm that will periodically output some stuff. I actually don't even need input devices for the second screen and it would be good if the mouse was restricted to the gnome-screen.
However, I didn't manage to make gnome start on only one screen. I don't care if it's done using one xsever with two screens attached or if I can do it starting a second xserver, I just want it resolved in some way.
I've tried to restrict gnome to :0.0 by setting the DISPLAY variable or giving gnome-sessions --display option. Both to no avail. When trying to start a second xsever (different layouts, each using one of the screens), my original screen becomes all white and on the second screen nothing happens. Any ideas?
