Thanks to the wonders of PostScript, you can do this by changing 1 line of code to substitute the coordinates of the workspace window for those of the main screen. I think I even left a function in the pswraps to get this value for you. However, it may take more memory, it's hard to get good performace from a window that exists on different bit-depth screens, and I didn't like the effect of stars originating "between" the screens, so I didn't include this behavior. -sam -- Opinions are not those of my employer. They're not even mine. They're probably wrong besides. How did they get in here, anyway?
