Hallo,

The **color\_under\_cursor** variable becomes (null) when the cursor is moved to my second screen. The second screen is placed left of the main screen and the mouse/cursor position\_x is negative. (see screen)

Could BTT not determine/find the color (color\_under\_cursor) on second screen somehow ?

Hi,  
I played a bit with my display setup and the new 4.069.

It seams it does not matter whether the main or second screen is left or right. The **color\_under\_cursor** variable gets always NULL when the cursor is move to the second screen.

Can that be fixed, as my setup depends on this color to 'detect' what is going on in Ableton Live. It works fine on the main screen...

Thx a lot,  
Christian

More complicated than I expected. Doesn't help that most example code for this seems to be wrong 🙂

Could you check whether 4.431 alpha fixes this for you? (uploading now)
