Multi-monitor support

[sanmadjack]

I have one of those fancy 3-screen setups that just needs the game to support 5760*1080 resolution, but alas starmade does not show that resolution in its support list. Is there any chance of that becoming a reality so that I may immerse myself further?

I think the best solution to this kind of thing right now is to make the window easily resizeable, so the resolution doesn't just stay fixed.
Although I hate comparing things to Minecraft, I can easily take the window and stretch it across my two monitors if I wanted to, and the resolution of the game will change with it.

Of course, having it fullscreen on multiple monitors would be awesome, but would take a lot more work.

Set it manually.
Open your 'settings.cfg' file and edit the line:
G_RESOLUTION = (x) x

To read as:
G_RESOLUTION = 5760 x 1080

If we're having multi-monitor support, could we please get the option to:
1: set the center of view to be offset from the center of the render window. If I have two monitors of equal size, then the center will be right at a boundary.
2: Customize the location of UI elements. (Though this should be put under UI) so I can have chat and alerts and radar on my second screen and my main will be cleaner
