HOWTo - Set up Maximizer (Updated PiP)

[keyclone]

sure... set your background to black and position your windows accordingly

[algol]

Oh, good, that's how I *thought* it worked from looking at your site. The "squashed" comment confused me.

Edit: Hey look, a 1-1 option! Still no clue about the squashed...ah well. It works, that's the important bit. :love:

Edit again: OOOH, "those" resolutions, as in the ones he was trying to set...okay, I'm an idiot.

Hey folks,

Is it normal that my mouse stops for 0,5 sec when im moving it from one region to another?

Also, Is it possible to make the regions not beeing always on top? when I open something it goes behind the regions when my mouse strafe over them.

[keyclone]

howdy Kayes,

two birds... one stone...

go to keyclone/setup/general and UNCHECK focus-follows-mouse

that should resolve both questions... but now you'll need to click once to active each window, then click to interact

[kayes2000]

Thanks alot

[dozix]

is it possible to use maximizer with other games? such as eve online. either running 2x eve or 1 wow 1 eve.

[keyclone]

yes, but getting the game into the region can be an issue depending on the game

you could run the game normally, then manually add the game window to keyclone... then right-click it in the keyclone list. select 'maximize...' and select the region you wish it to be in

Anyway to link different commands to PiP?

I'm trying to work out a set-up with 2 druid where I can have them doing various things driven by the action bar page they have showing. I could set this up with different keys, but ideally what I'd like is for it to change intuitively when I change the PiP, trouble is I have more than two action pages and only two PiP commands (which don't seem to be working quite right, but I'll put that down to me not setting it up correctly at this stage). A bit more detail, to try and explain better what I'm trying to do.

I'd like to have my druids set-up for various grouping scenarios, but I'd also like whichever screen I'm on at the time to function as the main toon (so whichever screen I'm currently on I click shift to cast from that toon and ctrl to cast from the other, rather than thinking shift for charA and ctrl for charB). I'm planning to achieve this via various action bars, as follow:

For DPSing:
Bar1, ToonA DPS main, ToonB DPS alt
Bar2, ToonA DPS alt, ToonB DPS main

For Healing and DPSing instances:
Bar3, ToonA Healing main, ToonB DPS alt (different from above though)
Bar4, ToonA DPS alt, ToonB Healing main

For Healing raids:
Bar5, ToonA Healing Main, ToonB Healing alt
Bar6, ToonA Healing alt, ToonB Healing main

Idea being if one runs in to a problem (or oom) I can switch and do the same actions from the second character without having to try and remember what weird key combo I need to press to get something done.

If this was just one switch it would be simple, I'd set my PiP button for ToonA to switch to the ToonA main bar and the ToonB alt bar and the PiP button for ToonB the other way around. But what I'm really looking for is 6 keys (or less with modifiers), but still linking in the two PiP function keys.

I was thinking this might be possible with hotstrings (which I've never used), but wasn't sure if it would act like an in-game keypress (so not activate the PiP).

So, say I bind actionbar1 to F1, 2 to F2 and so on, could I make a hotstring so that when I press # for example it presses F1 and my PiP key?

[gunners]

I currently have wow macros set up on F1 F2 and F3, i have setup PIP to swap between my 3 alts using LCtrl F1 LCtrl F2 and LCtrl F3, however , its very frustrating because when i use the LCtrl F1/F2/F3 combinations, the windows dont swap and the macros execute instead, sometimes the windows swap most times not though.

EDIT: I figured out my problem, I had a few numbers wrong.

Hello,

I'm new to Keyclone, but have been dual-boxing WoW for over a year now. Primarily I just 2box, but I do have four accounts that I will sometimes use to either 3box or 4box. I have a question about PiP and Keyclone. My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1600 and I want to run that resolution for my primary region (region1) and have the second region (region2) just be a PiP over the top when I'm only 2boxing. After reading many of your great posts, I have had no problem getting Keyclone setup, except, that it does not keep the 1920x1600 resolution that I configured. It always reverts back to 1600x1200 in game. I have my region2 set with the same aspect ratio as region1 at a size of 384x320.

My main problem with this resetting the resolution is that if I change my mod/bar layout to fit 1600x1200, then when I'm not dual boxing and want to run at 1920x1600, I have to redo my all my mods. I've even tried playing with the UI scale option in game, to counter this effect, but since 1600x1200 isn't the same aspect ratio, it doesn't really work either.

Here is my configuration:
D,1920,1600
R,'region1','\\.\DISPLAY1',0,0,1920,1600,(119.0),( 1920x1600),0
R,'region2','\\.\DISPLAY1',0,700,384,1020,(120.0), (1920x1600),1

Am I doing something wrong? Is this possible?

Thanks!

Exo
