Keeping MC Minimized When Using Theaterview
« on: October 07, 2004, 12:04:31 am »

Theaterview in MC 11 has progressed to the point where I'm trying to make it the frontend for my HTPC. I have my TV operating as a second monitor and have set up Theaterview to display there. I don't want to see the Main MC window on my computer monitor, just Theaterview.

Problem 1: There is no elegant way to start up MC so that it just displays Theaterview. Running "mjextman.exe /Mode Theater" puts up MC on my PC monitor in addition to Theaterview on my TV. I work around this by having Girder minimize MC whenever it started up. Not very elegant, but at least it works.

Problem 2: When I run an external program from the Theaterview menu, the main MC window ceases to be minimized. I again could minimize it after it does so with Girder, but this would be pretty distracting, happening on the computer monitor (which is near my TV).

Is there any good solution to these problems? Maybe I'm just missing a setting...
