VPX 10.8

[Digitalnightfall]

I am having an issue with displaying backglass when using 10.8. I am using a single display and all of a sudden, I have no backglass. I must Have messed up something but have no idea what I did. Anyone else have this problem?

Please help. Thanks.

Have you checked that the backglass is running at all, alt tab.

Important: The GL Version does not show backglasses on single screen. (known Bug) You have to use the DX Version on Desktop. There is a workaround, but its recommended to use DX on Desktop. May the bug be fixed soon.
If you have troubles with the dx version, there is some help. 😉 Let us know what version of backglass-server you run, and check if you see the backglass window if you alt-tab.. You have registered the server? fresh installation?

Alt/tab shows nothing running. Server version appears to be 2.0.3 and shows to be registered. I think I updated to this version a few weeks ago. I can start a backglass by clicking on it and it shows fine but will not start with the table.

What is GL vs. DX?

If you see nothing with alt tab it means the backglass server isnt even launching.

Ok. So tell us what your screensize is and share your screenres.txt please..

It will not start with the table unless the directb2s name is exactly the same as the table name

Screen is 1920x1080.  I think I have included the right file. Names of table and backglass are all exactly the same. Upper and lower case letters the same.

thats the template you use to create different res files if wanted/needed. 

You haven't said what table you are running so I'm attaching a copy of one of my res files. I run desktop mode and if you edit my res files you'll see how I place the backglass to the right side and fulldmd to the left. 

This only helps get the screens positioned. You dont even have the screens showing up yet so again you need to edit the b2stablesettings.xml and set Form To Front. Here is the entire top section of my b2stablesettings.xml;
