Hey all,

I heard in a post somewhere on these boards that your aspect ratio for your windows can affect PiP switch times with Keyclone. I was wondering if Keyclone himself, or anyone else who cares to give me some advice, could advise what size my windows should be. I'm running 3 instances currently, and I have things arranged so the two secondary regions are always on top of my main region. The way I want things configured is basically to split up the screen into 9 quadrants, and have the middle right quadrant contain both of my secondary regions, one on the top of the quadrant, one on the bottom, like so:

---------------------------------------------------------------+
|................................................. .............|
|................................................. .............|
|..........................................+-------------------+
|..........................................|...... .?x?........|
|.................1920x1200............|-------------------|
|..........................................|...... .?x?........|
|..........................................+-------------------|
|................................................. .............|
|................................................. .............|
+--------------------------------------------------------------+

My main is 1920x1200 as you can see. What sizes should I set for the two secondary windows to keep them a proper aspect ratio for fast PiP swapping?

Assuming you will keep the small ones on top or not, a 9th of the screen would be aquired by diving your fullscreen numbers by 3 each, thus giving you 640x400, but since you want to fit two in there they would get the wrong aspect ration, and thus you would either need to take more space vertically, or less space horizontally, which in the latter case would be them both being 320x200.
