Hi, I wonder any of you know how to perform the following transition on Mac OS X, either with a shortcut, an apps or any way you can think of.


Doesn't need to have such "effect" as I've illustrated, I just need the ability to switch the screen among 2 or more display. VirtualDesktop Pro, You Control Desktop & Spaces in Leopard will switch both screen to another "layer" of desktop instead of cycle / exchange among multiple displays.

thanks!

(Pls take note the dock & apple menu will only fall on either one screen, it doesn't matter to me.)

So you mean you want to have:
Monitor A, Monitor B
and
DesktopPictureAndApplicationWindows1, DesktopPictureAndApplicationWindows2

and hit a key to swap from
A-1
B-2

to

A-2
B-1

??

I suppose a sufficiently complex combination of applescript and Quicksilver should do this, if I understand it correctly.

I've never heard of that being done. That said...

The easiest (not nessasarily the cheapest) way I can think of is to use 2 KVM switches and two DVI splitter cables. Hook up the splitter cables to your DVI ports (so you now have two DVI ports with signal A and 2 with signal B). Then hook up 1 of each signal to the KVM switches. To swap displays, just activate both the KVM switches. DVI KVMs aren't cheap though.

Yes! Exactly! Any lead how to do so??? I'm an idiot on scripting. Application's windows are the priority, the rest can go at the moment

slpdLoad, KVM will be the hard way, the idea of this is I'm on my way to build a tablet screen power by wacom tablet. So my control will always on 1 screen only (without me touching the mouse to move the pointer into second screen). I hope there's a way I can cycle between the normal screen & tablet screen. If i were to touch KVM, I rather go back to mouse, thanks for the input anyway, much appreciated!
