Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you if it is possible to mirror the monitor output via VGA cable to second monitor, while at the same time keeping only one monitor recognized? What I need is the second monitor to act as a projector so that it isn't detected as a second monitor. The second monitor is used temporarily for presentations. To be more specific: I want to duplicate a.k.a mirror the display without changing the resolution options for it to support second monitor.

On the side note:I'm planning to do the customization pack. While I did find most of the resources I'm still looking for some resources: For example I would like to replace the numbers and the screens in the image below. I found most of the .bmp and .icon files but I can't seem to find those two.

Thanks for the answers!

Anyone? It would be good if I knew how to edit UIFILE to remove 1|2 when using duplicate display and just use number 1.
