    Many programs and games I use currently allow for a second screen to be used thus leaving the main window free of distractions, would it be possible ?

    This is one of my main requests for this interface, I would love the chat to be bigger, and out of the way, if I need to read while I'm fighting or exploring, it really takes away from immersion to have to move those windows around while I could have them neatly organised on my second screen (inventory, character paperdoll, chat etc...)

    Thanks in advance :)

    Do you mean having the game window stretch across both screens.. or duel screen windowed mode where you can take elements of the UI out of the game window and stick them on your other screen? I personally am hoping for the latter but hell.. why not both? ;)

    It is not intuitive, but just uncheck "full screen" in the video options.
    You might have to do it in Steam as well.

    Thanks Birko, it does allow me to move the main screen around my two screen but the goal would be to have better immersion by having only the pop up windows on the second screen ? So I can enjoy the nice graphics... Maybe I would even put my healthbar and top right options on the second screen as well, to have the least possible distractions.

    We can't move the health bars at the moment. For screenshots you can /visible to get your ugly head out of the selfie.

    Yes our interface is limited now. The only movable thing is the combat/noncombat bar, but I agree we should be able to organize our windows however we want with healthbars movable etc. Also the chat window is a pet peeve of mine. I for the life of me cannot always catch peoples words to me by whisper or otherwise. If I am fighting something a zillion combat comments are zooming past on the chat window, heaven forbid someone should say something to me. Oh well I'm sure we'll see improvements here and there as we go along. **cheers**

    I'd love having chat window, stats, paperdoll and even inventory in my second monitor.

    So we're talking option #2.. moving the UI elements out of the game window. :) That would be totally nice to be able to do.
