useful multimonitor support

sure it's a stretch, but why not ask :)

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm sitting here playing galciv3 on one monitor while the second just kinda sits unused running various chat things & it strikes me that galciv3 is a type of game that could be improved by the sort of multimonitor support some flightsims have.. specifically, click a planet/starbase/shipyard/etc & the screen you would otherwise get from double-clicking it loads on a second monitor, (maybe default to the tech tree otherwise?).  Yea it's a stretch, but the mere presence of multiple monitors is common enough that it could be a nice little addition for a bunch of folks.  so many modern video cards have come with dual monitor ports that allow two monitors to run for years now that anyone who gets a new monitor for whatever reason in the last several years could quite possibly just hook it up alongside the old one (as I did).

Meh, I thought the second monitor was to keep this forum open in while the soak was running...

I would also love to see something like this. I game on my main 32" monitor but have two 19" monitors on either side. Would be pretty cool to be able to resize windows and place them on a different monitor... Gets my vote.
