Mockup
I just want to have the option to dock all panes on a second screen. On my current set up, panes outside the 'primary' window are transparent and can not be organised.
It feels like I've got post-it notes all over the place, instead of having a drawing board. It isn't a big problem, but it looks very messy.
I'd like to have the same layout with my two displays!! Netbeans 7 was better for that. I wonder if your problem can be fixed by unchecking the Options > Appearance > Windows > Transparent floating windows option? It doesn't seem to have any effect at all on my Mac (nothing goes transparent), but it does sound like what you describe. FYI, I found your bug report while trying to solve my own difficulty: any panes on the second screen pop back to the first screen whenever I click on them. So like you, I'm finding the second screen useless with Netbeans 8. (I'm opening a separate bug for that.) any updates for that? |
