Alex B:
I have been on vacation the last couple of weeks and spent most of the time at our summer cottage without Internet access. Though, I have occasionally used MC12.0.32 on my laptop. I just tried the 36 & 39 builds the first time.

As I have said before, I was disappointed with the reduced display options. The new detachable display fixes things a lot. I am currently running two individual detached displays on separate zones. The Zone 1 is playing a video and the Zone 2 is displaying a slideshow with music.
 
I still miss the position slider and playback controls that are missing from the detached window.

In other words: The options are fine (if working correctly), but I would like to have the control bars back.

Actually, the new control system is quite obtrusive in standard undetached Display View. For video playback I would prefer the old narrow control bars. However, this is not a biggie and sometimes the new file info display can be useful.


Edit

I am installing the 40 build on my HTPC. I'll report back after I have tried the full screen options.

Matt:
If you want controls on the display, you can use Display View.

Detached display is designed for display only (in DJ-style environments, etc.) so any pollution of the display is a problem.  You can always use keyboard shortcuts, right-click menu, or MC on the main monitor to control the display.

glynor:
Just thought I'd say that I think this is the right approach Matt.

Again, thanks for fighting the good fight (whomever at JRiver decided to help us out on this one)!
