This could be done in fullscreen mode, but wouldn't work as the USB monitor has a lower resolution even if your GPU supports this technology. (2) Use windowed mode and manually position the monitor so that certain parts of the game window are on certain monitors. Apart from looking a bit ugly, I don't see how this would work without cutting off large portions of the game window that aren't on either of the two monitors.

In 2.0? Who knows! We may be able to use our smartphones or other external clients for some gameplay tasks, perhaps even chat. Then you could use a UI mod (which will be possible in 2.0) to remove the chat windows altogether.

Hope that helps. I can try to explain a little better if some of that was unclear. It seemed a bit convoluted to me.
Nope this sounds about right.

REDace makes good points. I get what you're trying to accomplish; small chat box would be cool to move to small monitor and have as what your chat rolls on instead of your screen. I have to agree with REDace, 99.9% sure this is NOT possible. Main reason is the chatbox is not a separate component. So the only way to move the box is expand your screen to overlap the USB monitor. If you have an 18" screen most likely you're running it in 1920x1080 so HD. The USB monitors cannot produce that type of resolution because if it COULD, it would be this small; or smaller. lol And rather difficult to read.

Awesome idea but unfortunately, not possible at this time.
