I hope I'm not asking something that you guys get every other week.

When I was still using the Explorer shell, I had an extended desktop to my HDTV, which I used to watch movies and things. As far as Windows was concerned, it was just to the right of my monitor's desktop, so I'd drag a video window over, Alt-Enter for fullscreen and enjoy the movie. But now with Litestep, it seems the VWM and extended desktop are conflicting. If I can get something to my extended desktop, it won't full screen all the way, or it'll full screen in an odd position with the bottom corner chopped off. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I presume using a hdtv is the same as having two monitors. Not all themes are written for dual monitors, but thats not litesteps fault, it the theme.

If the theme is using rabidvwm, dual monitors should work fine. I don't think any of the other vwm's support dual monitors. I have two monitors and they work like a treat.
