Separate Secondary Screen

[PrismaticM]

Hi guys,

 

I recently connected an old monitor to my mid-2010 iMac and I was wondering if there's any program that allows one of my screens to dim/screen-save/sleep if I don't use it, for example watching a movie and the 2nd screen goes to dim/screen save/sleep.

 

Also I'm wondering if there isn't a program which allows you to have a menustrip and dock on both screen not just on the main screen.

 

Thanks for any answers

Just turn the secondary screen off lol.

As for the having a dock on both, on Windows there is a program for it but the name evades me... Slick really likes it though so I'm sure someone else around here can remember the name. You may have some luck finding a mac version of that.

DisplayFusion or Ultramon as far as the bar goes....dunno which works on mac.

There is no way to automate the dimming thing.

  there's just 1 problem with that, the setting that I set up, resolution etc. just go to default:)

DisplayFusion, that's what I was thinking of

What monitor are you using? Because that's really annoying and stupid. Does OSX not remember settings for secondary monitors like Windows does?

EDIT: I just reread your post and you say it's an "old" monitor so maybe that's something to do with it.

Disregard.

maybe, cos every time I turn off the screen, the windows on that screen get teleported to my main screen and everything is default

there's just an on/off button, it goes in sleep mode when there isn't no signal. It's that screen http://goo.gl/SLi9PC I can't believe that they sell a 8yo screen:)
