Hi all,

there is a way to increase the vertical size of BiaB main windows to full screen? I have a two monitors configuration, with two different resolution.

I want to keep Biab on the monitor with bigger resolution, full screen.

Thank you!

With dual monitors you can drag the main Band-in-a-Box window to the screen you wish to use. Then you can drag the edges to re-size the window, or use the square button in the top right hand corner to toggle full screen mode.


Best,

Sorry, but the resize button (and also resizing via handles on the border of the windows) doesn't work on the second monitor (that have a bigger resolution). I can't fit the vertical dimension of the window to fill the second monitor.

Try connecting the higher resolution monitor as a single monitor. If the Band-in-a-Box window opens fully that means the lower resolution monitor maybe constraining the Band-in-a-Box windows.

Then connect the lower resolution monitor as monitor 2. Does the Band-in-a-Box window expand full size now? You may find the lower resolution monitor is constraining how large the Band-in-a-Box window will open.

It doesn't work for me either. I had 2 monitors until last week and it didn't work on the second one. Now I have 3 monitors and it doesn't work on the second monitor neither the third!

It's not possible. My first monitor is my laptop.

EDIT: It is possible, if I select the secondary screen as primary, I can resize full screen.

But this is not a solution... too many other programs (and the position of my pc on the desk) need that I use my laptop screen as primary display.

I'm sorry the solution I suggested will not work in your situation.

You could make a Windows display profile that sets your external monitor to the same resolution as your laptop display. Many monitors will allow resolutions to be changed while in use.
