Detachable GM screen

Has there ever been any talk of adding a detachable 3 window GM screen. one that can have info sheets pasted into it, i mean yea i can put all the sheets i want in my Notes thing. But i think quick acess to our most needed tables and such wouldnt be that hard to add

Some people have created a GM screen in a character sheet by using the bios tab to hold the info and put various macros in the ability tab. This let them pop out the sheet.

I use Handouts and/or separate pages (i.e. maps of charts). You can also add things to the GM layer (harder to see, but...for some things it works well).
Well as Gm i think a seperate 3 window screen would be better, dont want to do it through a character sheet.
oh well just an idea..

You can pop out handouts and sheets, that should let you do everything you mentioned.
.Yes but digging through hand outs can be cumbersome when you have alot of handouts . a Dm screen would save Time..

I never have to dig as I use the folder option to sort my handouts and have a folder named 001 DM. I just open the folder to access my handouts and sheets with macros which I would then drag onto my second monitor after popping them out. You could always write up a suggestion and post it in the suggestion forum.

Like Pat, I also use Folders to my advantage.  Folders can also be moved around so it can be placed where I find it most convenient.  Here's a snapshot of how I have my folders set up... But because folders can be moved around, I could easily make it looks like this: This also allows me to make some of the charts available to my players.  Also, this is not meant to discount Tim's suggestion...merely to show an alternative that may help get him where he wants to be. Personally, I'm having difficulty envisioning what a "detachable 3 window GM screen" would look like, so perhaps it would be a superior option—I just can't imagine it at the moment.
Character sheets pop out. that what i mean 3 window. as in shows 3 pages of tables and info like a GM screen a real one. that can be be popped out and maybe kept as a macro so the Gm, screen can be used 1 touch
