Impress window position

Is it possible to get Impress  to go full screen for a presentation without going
over the top of everything - here is the scenario - I have 2 screens, one is an
interactive whiteboard and I am running OpenBoard. When I start a presentation
it goes full screen and covers the OpenBoard 'control' panel. If I bring the OpenBoard
to on top when I move to the next slide Impress goes over the top again and 
hides OpenBoard

Hi :slight_smile:
Errr, which OS platform? Is it some version of Linux (such as Ubuntu,
Mint, Redhat or something) or is it some flavour of Windows (such as Xp,
Vista, Win7, Win8, Win8.1 or Win10 or something?) or is it a Mac or BSD or
something else?

Also do you know if the the 2 screens are really treated as 1 very large
screen? We can probably help with that if we knew which platform, or
better still which specific OS.

Good luck and regards from a Tom :slight_smile:

When you drag Impress over to the screen on right, does it remain there after clicking on OpenBoard?

Impress is on the left screen and I set the slideshow up to display on the right so the left is in presenter mode
The full screen presentation goes over everything. If I click on OpenBoard it comes to the front but as soon
as you advance to the next slide Impress goes over the top again

In Impress under "Slide Show Settings" you should find....

    Multiple Displays

By default the primary display is used for slide show mode. If the current desktop is displayed on more than one display, you can select which display to use for full screen slide show mode. If the current desktop spans only one display, or if the multi display feature is not supported on the current system, you cannot select another display.

      Presentation display

Select a display to use for full screen slide show mode.

If the system allows the user to span a window over all available displays, you can also select "All displays". In this case the presentation is spanned over all available displays.

Try this.

Hope it helps.
