Backglass not showing in 3.32, 3.35, 3.36 ok in 3.28

I have recently redone my VP system.  When I redid the system, I put the current then version PinballX in - ver 3.32.  My backglass monitor was not showing backglasses.  I do not use B2S in frontend.  So I tried all monitors 1 to 5 (My windows display shows monitor 2 is my backglass) just to see if backglass would come up.  It did not.

I then tried Windowed mode and I see the backglass is sitting on the main monitor 1.  It cannot be moved.

I know it worked in Ver 3.28, so I reinstalled that version and all was good again.

Since then, I've been playing with getting my pinDMD3 working with UltraDMD and full colour roms so I tried 3.35 and today 3.36.  The backglass is still showing on the desktop and I've tried changing the monitor # to 1 - 5 again without success.  I'll again downgrade to 3.28 but I wanted to share this to see if there is something obvious I've missed.  Log and INI files included as well as a pic of my desktop.

One last thing is I've connected the main playfield to my video card and the backglass to my on board GPU.  I'm going to try switching this now to see if it resolves the issue....  Nope.  I've included those ini and log files too.  I'm reverting back to my original setup method and downgrading to 3.28 for now.

I love this frontend though!!!  Thank you Tom!

No errors in the logs so i guess the backglass is showing somewhere just not visible (in fullscreen).

Maybe you need to try the backglass on screen numbers higher than 5 (you'd have to edit pinballx.ini directly, [Backglass] section monitor=x, or reset the monitor numbers https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/736116-windows-display-properties-identify-numbers-are

Checking your ini file I see the following for your playfield

windowwidth=480  
windowheight=270  
windowx=27  
windowy=246

Do you have a small playfield, or is this because you use the windowd ?

Not sure how your backglass is set in windows (you mentioned as monitor 2), but looks like the positioning of your backglass starts with 0,0. Isn't  the backglass on the right side of your playfield? This looks over the playfield, but not sure

[BackGlass]

monitor=1  
x=0  
y=0  
width=1360  
height=768

Playfield monitor should be on the left with additional monitors to the right and align with the top of the Playfield monitor- Example Below

Try this order

Playfield, BackGlass, Dmd then Topper

Not necessarily in the order of 1 2 3
