Do you support multiple monitors for your "Maximizer/Picture in Picture" feature?

Can I run two monitors, on one computer with something like this set up:
Have the active region on monitor 1, and the other toons of my team on monitor 2. Then when I hit my switch key, have the now active stuff on monitor 1, and the previously active stuff switch that that position on monitor 2?

Thats pretty much how my setup is.

GCP handles multiple layouts.

You set up the windows (position and size) for all your characters. You then save this (optionally giving it a name). Each layout can have a zoom position associated with it. You do this by moving your main window to where you want the zoom position to be, and saving this zoom position. This can be done several times, to produce a layout for each circumstance.

Once you've done this, a layout can be activated instantly. GCP is clever enough to only move windows which have changed when you change layouts.

This method needs more work to set up, but is much more flexible. If I lose my main, I switch to my "plan B" layout, which actually minimizes window 1 (he's dead!), brings my hunter (window 2) to occupy the left screen, moves my healer (window 4) to occupy must of my 2nd screen (if my tank dies, I think my healer has become more important), and puts my DPS (wiindow 3 and 5) as 2 very small windows at the bottom. (I can pretty much control them without seeing anything anyway). In the same command, I can change my DPS target to track my hunter.

My "Oh Dear The Tank Died" macro is complicated but goes something like this:

Set Group, 3
Translate Group,`,+`,^`,%`,^+`,%+`,%^`,%^+`
<<All>>
Hit %GroupX%

Msg Select No Of Healers
Get Heals, No
Msg
GroupSet Darelan,DPS
if %Heals% >= 1
GroupSet Darelan,Heals
endif

UseLayout %$LeaderChan%
set LdrToon,%$LeaderChan%

Translate LdrToon,`,+`,^`,%`,^+`,%+`,%^`,%^+`
<<All>>
Hit %ToonX%
endif

The first block sends a special key to tell the GCP addon that we're changing the target for the dps group.
The 2nd group moves my healer from the dps goup.
The 3nd block selects a particular screen layout and select which toon will be tracked by the DPS target group.
The 4th block sends a special key to tell the GCP addon which toon to track for the group.

The group tracking thing means that the DPS group will now target anything that the selected leader targets.

The effect of this is I press one key and press a number to set my healers count. My screen is then re-arranged, I have a new leader, and my DPS targeting is now controlled by my new leader.
