Simpler way with no extra tools:
For me with 10.6 Snow Leopard, this works and it needs no additional scripts or programs and no external tools:
- close any windows which you want to have preserved at their present size and location - in the Displays control panel (tab Arrangement), temporarily move the menu bar to the screen where FrontRow is supposed to appear (this could change some of your window positions, that is why you should have closed these before) - enter and then leave FrontRow again (it will appear on the selected display) - you can now switch the menu bar back to your regular primary screen - the All Messages log as visible in the Console application will then have a new message from FrontRow: Start up render thread for display: 0x[hex ID] (You can just search for display in that log to make this easier to find) - convert that hex ID to decimal (for instance with one of the many calculator apps) - in Terminal, enter this command: defaults write com.apple.frontrow FrontRowUsePreferredDisplayID [decimal ID] You're done. FrontRow will now appear on the intended display, even if it's not the primary one. - --- There are no problems... Edited on Dec 22, '09 02:38:17PM by only_solutions
