Hi I’m considering OpenRNDR for my next project. I wanted to ask if it supports multiple windows as I have not been able to find any examples. For my usecase I would want to have a small control panel UI window on one screen and then the output on a secondary screen as a fullscreen window. Is something like that possible with openRNDR? Could you point me to the right direction? Thank you 🙂 ---

Hi @joekhan! Welcome to the forum 🙂 I think the multi-window feature is available in openrndr 0.4.5-alpha2 You should get that version if you use the `next-version` branch of the `openrndr-template`. There are at least two demos you can study under [openrndr/openrndr-demos/src/main/kotlin at master · openrndr/openrndr · GitHub](https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr/tree/master/openrndr-demos/src/main/kotlin) Let me know if you try it! I still didn’t have time to give it a spin 🙂 Cheers! ---

This looks really promising thank you! Will try right away 😃 ---

Seems to work pretty well but I’m facing an issue where the contents of the window shrinks to 1/4th of it when moving it to a secondary display. Is this perhaps a known issue on macOS? I am also able to reproduce the bug running the default template demo on master branch: ![Screenshot 2024-03-18 at 16.20.10](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openrndr/original/1X/76ac563f6c47b5413042a663b8524b292ae0e222.png) ---

I hear that it might be related to mixed DPI and this probably needs some work. I’ll post more news when I have them 🙂 ---

Meanwhile… is there any way to have the same DPI in both screens? ---

Hey there! Sorry about the late reply. Yes, that’s what I’m doing for now 🙂 In macos display settings I can set the external display to be in the resolution marked as HiDPI and then things work fine ---

Off-topic but I’ve been watching your videos on shaders and they are extremely helpful! Hope you guys can make more in the future 😃 ---

I’m happy to hear that, thank you for letting us know! @Alessandro has been very busy with work lately and I hope he has time soon for some more conversations. Looking forward to it 🙂 ---

Now there’s two demos for having a GUI on a separate window (for now only available if you build orx yourself). Basically one only needs to replace `GUI` with `WindowedGUI` 🙂 >
