Thanks, I'll give that a try. IMO though the shanghai flag should be able to be set with PSI when creating a public screen.

If its just the case you want to start programs on other screens than Wanderer, please have a look at Start_on_Pubscreen (https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1390&pid=8496#post_8496).

Please note as this is coded in Hollywood this is just for 32 bit at the moment.

Cheers,

Hi,

I'm using the latest Linux Hosted x86. I set up a new default public screen but no windows will open on it. From days gone by (I think starting in AmigaDOS 2.0) I remember there being a shanghai flag you could set for your public screen which then intercepted new windows of public screen unaware programs. From the wiki at https://wiki.amig...reen_Type:

"Because of its close ties with the operating system, there are some extra functions available to manipulate the Workbench screen. One function which controls both Workbench and other public screens is SetPubScreenModes(). This function controls the global public screen mode bits, SHANGHAI and POPPUBSCREEN. If the SHANGHAI mode bit is set, older applications which expect to open on the Workbench screen will open instead on the default public screen (which may or may not be the Workbench screen). The POPPUBSCREEN bit controls whether public screens will be popped to the front when a window is opened. These modes are documented in Window Structures and Functions."

I was wondering if that functionality is going to be implemented in AROS? Thanks.
