It should work default without tinkering with teh settings in the latest version. Just in case you want to do this.

It is not TopGear but one of Clarkson's films - Shootout
Yes there is option in VLC (2.0.4) for that:
Prefereces -> Video -> Blank screens in Fullscreen mode

Thanks, I change desk light roughly every 4 months. Although I've been using the Tolomeo now for around 9 months, that articulation is unmatched and I love it.

Buyt maybe I need to put up the Tizio again, or the Luci Porsche for the sake of change and change alone.

My guess is that most enthusiasts are holding out for the 27".

I can sort that out for you on the 12th or so. I would be too ashamed right now!

Mac Pro - video postproduction;
1st G5 is actually Intel Core i5 hackintosh for gaming and some win apps;
2nd G5 is not actually G5 either, it is something else (said enough) in G5 chassis but with changed cooling to be almost silent for 24/7 FTP, sharing and downloading.

Who could blame me for loving Mac Pro / G5 chassis

No one, thats who!
if i can get some extra cash, i may turn a dead G5 into a expansion deck for a 13" Macbook air, USB, superdrive, monitor adapter, more HD, etc..

Calm down dear, poster originally said they were 30". Didn't say what make/model, just because you know what they are doesn't mean the rest of the world does

Heheh, sorry I was real tired when I posted and I was silly enough to think that was obvious. It's not :P

Old picture but same setup (iPhone has been changed to a 5 though)



Am working on crafting a desktop in white plexiglass, with the plexiglass bended up along the wall. Should end up about 5 cm in thickness.

Haven't decided completely on how I am going to mount the monitors, there are a few decent options out there.

Nice and simple. There must be something better to prop the ACD up than a book though.

True that. Not too worried about it at the moment, since I'm starting the desk project as mentioned

Here is my setup

[Macman45]

Had to remove a chunk of desk to permanently mount the control yoke to my desk...The edges are chamfered and the grips wouldn't hold....Sealed it with varnish though, so it should be okay.

overpriced, but looks it gets the job done.

I like those orange blocks a lot.

Simpler and looks better than the other way!

Loving my new white Malm desk with pull-out panel. The 27" iMac, wireless kb/trackpad/mouse looks simple and nice on the desk.

Its the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100.

Uses a Wolfsen Chip and yes I love it!!
£200 in Richer Sounds.
Definately worth every penny! Its a small little box but the Sound is far larger!

I noticed that the menu bar is gone on your iMac. How did you hide or remove it??
