Not sure if this is the correct place for this but i'm using the mac client and I was thinking it would be really awesome to be able to choose whether to black out the second display or not when in fullscreen. Big smile I'm probably not the only one.

Fairly sure the black second screen when in full-screen mode is a function of directx and so is not something CCP could do anything about.

run the first client in windowed mode and you get your second monitor back

This has been a long-running issue that they're unable to do anything out due to (to my understanding) how Wine handles DirectX since the Mac port isn't really a Mac port.

They're just recently implemented new special windowed mode sizes for Mac with a few less vertical pixels, allowing room for the menu and window bars. This way, you don't lose the bottom part of your screen, and your second monitor becomes visible.

Ahh ok that makes sense it's just a little irritating to have to hide the dock everytime you play :) and theres always this thought in the back of your mind about those few extra pixels you could enjoy :)
