K I'm really having trouble with this one. I'm running one 1280x1024 screen, I'd like to run a stacked 1280x682 over 2 640x342 screens. aspect ratio on those numbers is damn close, and I've tried everything, but can't figure out how to get them to render properly. All wows are set to run 800x600, graphics turned way down. The main window comes up perfect, the bottom two, however, get squashed. Opening the wtf config folder, the main window is at 1279x682, but the smaller windows revert to 800X600. if I set them all to 1280x682, individually they open to the proper aspect ratio, not linked or sized appropriately of course, but as soon as I try to start them with keyclone, they are back to 800x600. One thought, because I'm trying to run the smaller windows at a less than 800x600 size, it reverts them to 800x600 no matter what. I really don't have room to run them that big, and not looking to buy a second monitor.

If there's a step by step guide I haven't found yet, or if someone can help, I'm all ears, or I'll just go back to playing my funhouse mirror clones

G'evening Moji,

check out the keyclone layouts page (link: http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/ )

look for 1280x1024x1 3 regions. just download to a local file and import it (the pip keys are already set... F8, F9, F10)

it looks something like this (notice the minimap on all regions is a perfect circle)

:!: note: remember to auto-hide your system tray

if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note.
(yes, they are rogues.. i had created a 5x orc rogue squad at one time...)

good luck,

Rob

:D

I think your bottom windows seem so squashed because they ARE-- you're compressing the vertical to 71% of a normal aspect ratio while the horizontal remains the same.

Also, don't modify video settings in the WoW client once you have maximizer running.
