Permanent preview pane on 2nd monitor

[DexpLover]

Hello,
I am looking to have my 2nd monitor act as a permanent preview pane.
I have 4 virtual desktops setup, thus would like a grid with 4 windows displaying on the second monitor at all times.
If I switch between desktops, this preview monitor must still remain constant.

Is this possible?

Cheers,
MC

Here is my post from another forum where the question is as well yet to be answered:

Hello,
I am using DexPot and have run into a problem while trying to create a preview grid that stays up permanently.

I have 4 virtual desktops, 1 monitor at 1080p, and 1 monitor at 720p. I would like the 1080p monitor to display the selected virtual desktop, while the 720p monitor consistently maintains the "preview panel" featured in the program.

As of right now, the virtual desktops are stretching across both monitors. The preview panel is brought up on both monitors at the same time, by user command and disappears once you select a virtual desktop.

I need:
- The 4 virtual desktops to only appear on the 1080p monitor
- The preview grid to only appear on the 720p monitor
- The preview grid to always be active and open

Cheers, and thanks.

You can exclude monitors at Settings > Switching Desktops > Monitors.

- The preview grid to only appear on the 720p monitor
- The preview grid to always be active and open

That's not supported, at least not with the live full-screen preview.

Thanks for the response.

Is there any way to monitor all the virtual desktops at once then? That's basically what I need. A small section of each of the virtual desktops to be viewable at all times.

No. Not while working on one of the desktops at the same time.

Man... that would be a killer feature for my 3 monitor setup... you have me drooling wishing dexpot could do this...

You can exclude monitors at Settings > Switching Desktops > Monitors.

Also, I don't recommend using this feature -- I've tried it, and some of the plug-ins (like the Taskbar Pager for example) ignore it, or don't work right. It's more annoying than anything else.
