Hoc Le (ID: 0000000dbeebbea0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/25/2019 Thanks for creating. Could you make it optional to be transparent and to be positioned at the right hand site? Let people decide whether the second screen is transparent or at the right/left site. Great plugin! I use it a lot and it's very handy. thanks! :D
