How to fix - Well.. I guess it's aspect ratio

How do I fix this?

I'm running on a 1680x1050 monitor, and Im trying to run in a 1680x700 resolution, can you help?

[Qlimax]

I dont see the problem =/, I run like that, but I cant find anything out of the ordinary there

[Bollwerk]

Ratio looks fine. I see no problem.

Look at the clones, see how stretched out they are.. No way to fix it ? (I guess I can live with it..)

What resolution are the clones running in? Take the width of your desktop resolution and divide it by 3 to get their right resolution.

*edit* Looks like your clones should be running 560x350. If you do that they should not be stretched anymore.

looks like how I ran 3 boxing for about a month before I figured this out. There isn't much of a formula, just playing with a calculator till you're close.
Currently you have
1650/700 = 2.357
550/350=1.57

with a 1650x1050 monitor, stacked like that,

Set your big window to 1650x785= 2.10
set your small windows to 550x265 = 2.07
and run 1650x785 resolution.


should be a lot closer

Another option I ran with for a while is stacking the 3 down the side, but I don't have a widescreen monitor, so I kinda missed out on my "peripheral"vision because my windows were almost taller than wide. But for 5 boxing, that's exactly what I do, the 4 down the side, and then when I'm only playing 4, I just leave a hole where the one I don't open should be. If you wanna play with it, it could work.

how about this? (note the minimap is a circle and not an oval... this means the aspect ratio is correct)

here you go: http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/index.html
look for it under 1680x1050x1 4 regions.

make sure to exit all wows before importing the layout. wow resolution is only read at start up

[iztehzha]

Thank you keyclone.. One problem though - Its not on the layout site :p
Had to manually find it by replacing
http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/kc_1680x1050x1_3regions.max <- the number 3, with 4.. :P

UPDATE: It's there now

[keyclone]

i'm pretty sure it was there.. i haven't changed anything (probably a browser cache thing)

if you need another layout.. just let me know and i'll keep adding them

:D

[iztehzha]

Ye it was a cache issue.. Just did a CTRL+F5 and it was there.. Ty very much again keyclone :)

*tags for later so I remember to get the new template when I get home*

I like the 1 over 3 instead of the Brady bunch stack to the right, though what resolution does that give? I think my brady layout with 4 windows I have 600x450 on all 3, you can almost read stuff.

Can a 1 over 4 layout be ironed out the same way?

[keyclone]

Can a 1 over 4 layout be ironed out the same way? you mean like this?

http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/kc_1680x1050x1_5regions_horiz.jpg

sure... it's now on the page (note the 'horizontal split' labels)

[Jheusse]

Exactly. Was hoping you'd just punch that out.

When toggling between two maximizer/keyclone layouts, what's the simplest way to do it?

For example, I run my 4 shammies up questing solo, then decide I want to boost stocks and such for a while with a pally.

Can I get to a stage where I can alter my setup to accomodate with minimal fuss? I know I can Import the other layour quickly and easily, is that it?

Though I'd have to config another setup, because my wows are in multiple folders across 2 hard drives and keyclone fills in the account names, and those would change when I add my booster from my main.
