When milkdrop is running fullscreen on the second monitor i can't use my playlist or medialibrary in winamp. you can see the windows and you can use the winamp player but you can't use the other windows at all, even the options window.

Any Ideas?

This is an issue that I also came across. However, when you use the desktop mode, and you set your 2nd screen to show the viz in the config... It's all fixed. In extended mode offcourse.

This way you have no problems with dragging windows or whatever... your wallpaper on the 2nd screen will be replaced by the viz and you're ready to go!

What I think may work though is to have a duplicate milk2.ini named milk2b.ini with my secondary monitor named as the primary but I need to find where milkdrop points to the milk2.ini initially. Any ideas?

Alas no - it's not in either the gen_ml.ini nor the winamp.ini files. Editing .dat files or code is beyond me.

How do I even start milkdrop up in multimon mode? With or without a fix.

Any news on a real deal fix for this issue?

I have been hoping for a fix for this for years now. Is there anyone who can fix it without having to resort to desktop mode. Performance is severely hindered when running in desktop mode. I get only half of the FPS in desktop mode vs regular full screen mode.

The strange thing is that when I first installed milkdrop years ago it automatically displayed on both monitors the first time I loaded it, with no changes made to any settings. After that though it never did it again.

*wishes and wishes for a multimon fix in Milkdrop 2.0*

Matter of fact, using ZMover, you can launch the window in a custom size (I prefer 3840 x 1200), which is pretty snaz, except that Milkdrop has a border which I have no idea how to remove, and the render itself won't hit fullscreen resolution, just the window after accounting for titlebar and border sizes :\

durn. I've tried all the suggestions on here that i could and nothing works.

I'm actually running a tablet pc with an extended desktop; no clue where to go from here. would love to know if anyone has any more insight into this.

Same problem as all the other ...
All links from mr_jrt's hack are down.
I've found an vis_milk_jamie_tweaked.dll somewhere in the net.
But i think, that's not enough.
The original hack includes also an milkdrop.ini with 3 extra settings.
Can anyone help?
E.g. upload the hack or post the ini-settings?
Thx!

I've been using Rabidhamster R4 in multimonitor mode and it's amazing.

It spans all three monitors with no work around, hacks or patches.

I don't understand why Mr. Geiss hasn't updated milkdrop to compete with R4.

Just found a program that supports up to three monitors for Milkdrop:

Works perfect for my two 8800gt's.

Just made a demo of SoftTH's triplehead for Winamp: http://youtu.be/gjCRoDdtnVs

Looks great on Youtube at 720HD.

This works perfect, thx! To all the others, you just have to download the SoftTH x86 d3d9.dll, put it in Winamps root directory, disable fake fullscreen and select the correct resolution.
For me it works even on Windows 8 x64 with Intel integrated graphics processor.
