Ok so im wantching someone on twitch! Thinking about maybe even starting a newbie channel.

As i pondering the idea i starting to think i should maybe get a second monitor to do things on! Then i think wouldnt it be cool if you could run your char with the ship on one screen and have all your other things on another. Like chat box and if you wanted to open marketsplace etc... im not sure if this feature already exists or not as i dont two screens currently however this would be cool for people streaming as they could view sensitive data seperately and then also as i sometimes have to close the marketplace for example as i need to see whats happening on screen but i would also really like the marketplace open at the same time....

Anyway hope you get what i mean feel free to quiz me :)

FUUU,
sorry ok, I fully support your suggestion. And blah blah... would really love if you could do such a thing on a single monitor aswell so one can see the space in space provided one has enough space to place all his view of space.

The UI can get heavily cluttering. And the beatiful view is/or should be one of the reason EVE is not a 2D fantasy browser based game, while many play it as such. Sometimes it can feel like submarines in space.
Where all you navigate by is your overview, and all you target is by broadcasts.
Visuals should be no less important, tactical view should be about clicking the tactival view, not about clicking it and hiding all the overlaying UI so you can actually view stuff.

Ultima window demonstrates my idea well, as you can move around the view of the game, and UI aswell to achieve seeing all the things you need to see.

Yep, as far as I know, the full screen window stretches over the 2 monitors. You can alter the camera center under ESC -> Display & Graphics -> Camera settings to center on one of the screens and have all your windows on the other.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

This is essentially correct.
You can increase resolution over single monitor and then it stretches, yes can move camera focus afterward so you don't really miss much. It can look like this Notice the windows bar showing, because the other monitor is actually smaller.
What they forget to mention is, you are essentially cutting out the view on the other side in favour of the view hidden under the UI.
So it is a workaround but not what you probably had in mind. Also you miss the icon indicators on the edge of the screen. (yes those that are very hard to click on with mouse cause they keep moving!)
