Bug Description

Mixxx is now 4-deck and has a lot of controls to show. The limiting factor is now screen size.
It would be cool to be able to split interface sections onto different windows, allowing you to use two screens and chose which controls go on which window/screen.

This way, you can have more samplers, more effects, more everything, or if you prefer, dedicate a screen to library and another one to controls.

so a multi window/screen interface will be great.

There is also a use case with only one screen, but more than 1 window (say 1 for library and one for controls for example), and a rapid switch with system window switch (like ALT-TAB on windows or some linux window manager)

As this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1706722 was marked as a duplicate of this one I'll add another idea here:
What about an end-user-screen that shows some fancy information to guests (at a party or wherever you use mixxx).
It could tell the name of the playing track, a big cover art, may be the track position, the coming tracks (Auto DJ) and the time.
It should be possible to customize this a little (e.g. if your cover arts are not well or you don't use Auto DJ you should be able to hide that). May be even some visualizations would be nice.
And the possibility to enter the full screen mode should be given.
