• Picture in picture program?
    6 replies, posted
Is there a possible way to have picture in picture on full screen programs? I know it may sound stupid but I have my reasons. As in say you can be playing a game and there would be a small picture frame at the top right that has a youtube video playing or some tv or something along those lines. Also, is there a program for being able to do stuff on your second monitor and not quit the full screen app on the first? Say you have a game up on one screen and msn on the other. At the moment there is no way to just move your mouse and type on the msn, it will minimize the game. I know these may sound strange, but it would be really interesting if there is a program for that.
Run the game in windowed mode if the game supports it. Have both windows open at once.

I know it's a quick fix but I am wondering if anyone knows of a program like that.
I had wanted to do this before and the easiest way I found to do it was to just use windowed mode. Windows is a program made to support the running of multiple applications. Unless a game specifically supports running another instance of a program within itself then you probably won't be able to do what you are thinking. I had wanted to do something like this before with Garrysmod and I was never able to find something which would allow me to go on AIM while in game (I assumed that since Garrysmod was able to have a browser in it this would not be too far of a leap). I think I actually made a thread on Facebook about it. If you really felt like it you could install a new virtual machine on VirtualBox and then install whatever application you want to run windowed in on that so that any application will run fullscreen in a window.

Like if I have Firefox up and MSN on the side and I browse Firefox, MSN doesn't minimize. [editline]10:13PM[/editline] NVM I got desk pins. This is so sweet
