The only game I'm aware of that has actually done proper dual monitor support is Supreme Commander (which did it very well), everyone else just seems to pretend that people only ever have one screen (or decide it's not worth the time to code for the number of people who'll make use of it).
You could always play Windowed and stretch the window across both screens, but that isn't quite the same thing and introduces its own issues

Yeah.... I think I tried that once, and nearly gave myself a heart attack. Scary stuff.

OMG I just asked for this in a different thread. I would LOOOOOVE to be able to pull the damn map, and the combat attributes windows off to my right side monitor.

So, I was wondering if it's even feasable to be able to move some game UI windows off of the main screen to the second screen? I know that doesn't currently work, I'm just wondering if that's something hard to code for so that it can work. I would love to have several windows that I use often just open all of the time which normally I don't because if I did they would clutter up the whole main screen, like the minimap, extra chat windows, scriptui window, /search windows, playernote windows, and several others.
