Windows 7 and multiple monitors
Currently using Win7 and C1Pro 6. Have two monitors on the desktop. I have already identified the left (Sony) CRT monitor as my #1 monitor and the right (Viewsonic) monitor as my #2 monitor. I like the colors and details on my older CRT monitor more than the image quality and accuracy of the image on my Viewsonic HDMI (#2) screen. I can't tweek the Viewsonic anymore. It is tweek-maxed. It is fine for the written content but it sucks for the colors/contrast image content. I want to pull the image portion of the Capture One 6 work area out of the various on-screen menus and put it, alone, on the CRT, leaving the written menus and thumbnails alone on the Viewsonic. The image area can then be enlarged, to the max, on the CRT as can all of the menus and thumbnail section on the Viewsonic Flatscreen. Big is good.
How do I do this?

HAve you tried (as a starting point)
Window>Workspace>Dual Monitor ?
This will open the regular screen plus a tool populated of the Viewer (F10 to call this up manually) that will give you separate windows for each of your screens.
You can then rearrange the original editor window layout to minimise the primary image (not sure if you can remove it entirely) and maximise the thumbnails section.
If I understand you requirement from there you may well have to consider setting up floating tools to spread those around the screen but once set up I assume that saving the combination as a new workspace with your own naming convention means you can recall it at any time. If the floating tools idea does not work for you you can re-define the tool menu groups to give you fast access to the tools you regularly use and so at least minimise the effort required to get the tools you need to appear somewhere useful on the revised screen layout.
Does that help at all?

Yes, you can. View menu, Hide Viewer.
After you have done your workspace arrangements to your likings, save it in a new workspace.0 -
This might be too elementary....but just in case and because Win 7 was mentioned, and COne does not control your monitors even in dual mode...use your video driver to extend your desktop using your Viewsonic as the primary screen (CRT calibration should apply to both and be correct for that screen, although as you say it will compromise the viewSonic unless you have installed dual calibrations)....then drag the viewer window to the CRT in Dual monitor mode (or simply call the viewer from the WINDOW menu)...then save the workspace as said.... 0 -

Good point Paul, I now remember doing that before - accidentally! 😉0 -

Apparently, you're a natural talent, Grant. 😉0 -

More like a natural blunderer Paul.
And forgetful.
