FGU and 49 inch Monitor
Hi,
I was on fantasy grounds friday and I mentioned that I have a 49" 4120 x 1440p monitor for FGU (fortunate i know - my wife needed it for working at home for the last year and a half).
Anyway here it is - an image of the screen - for the curious . I usually reserve a third for Syrinscape and the rest for FGU

I still don’t know why people don’t have their maps in background mode. The performance issues are thing of the past in experience.

I have my FG window split over two monitors so I like to keep mine in a window and keep map, chat and combat tracker on one screen, and char sheets, stories, etc. on the other.
Definitely considering a huge one-monitor solution if I move from iMac Pro to MacPro at some point. The boundary/borders aren't too bad but it would be nice to eliminate them altogether.
Cheers, Hywel

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I tend to use the short cut keys to have the things I will likely need for the sessions (mine are only 2 hours in length) ready to go.
I just dropped a couple of things on the desktop to give you an idea of size. I usually have only 3-4 things up at a time (more NPCs during combat).

I will say that I think a 4K 32" monitor can also be a good option. I find that I quite like having more verticality than width after a point. I do have access to a 2k monitor that can rotate to provide that but at some point you do need to decide to be satisfied.

Everyone has their own way of working. I don't like having the map in the background because I don't want to have to keep moving stuff on top of it - and I use two monitors as others have said so having the map and combat tracker on one monitor and everything else on the other suits me much better. So there's no right or wrong way to use the map to the background thing. It's useful but not necessary to have the map on the background.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php
