Just wondering if you 2 boxers out there using 1 computer generally just alt-tab between windows or if you use other software to aid you.

One 1280x720 window docked to the upper right, one 1024x768 docked to the lower left, main on the upper right. I can move the minimap display with a mod so that I can track two things at once. It allows me to see both actionbars for cooldowns on both characters. Sometimes I alt-tab, sometimes I just click.
If I can get my software to play nice I can demonstrate this in video format. I'd use dual monitors but it's misbehaving randomly

I run three characters on one machine, all in windows maximized on one monitor at 1600x1200. I use HotkeyNet (http//hotkeynet.com) to toggle (http://hotkeynet.com/ref/toggle.html) and it works great for me.

I run 5 on one computer. In windowed mode I just click between them. When I started I was only running 3 with no software help, but now I use AHK to broadcast keys to all of them.
I put my main in the top left, one top right, and 3 on the bottom.
If I was just going to use 2 I would put them in windowed in opposite corners and just click between them to switch screens. I wouldn't bother with AHK/Keyclone unless I already had it set up or I wanted to pvp.

I have had 4+acnts for years.. until a few months ago when I was lead to this site and found the multi boxing program of my dreams ( keyclone ). I used two PCs ( and a third when i ran 5 acnts ) but normally i played two hunters..mage and priest with two on each PC and alt tabbing my ass off. THANK GOD for Keyclone ! I still have two PCs.. but i 5 box on one and use the other for a support acnt. I run my mage and priest on the second pc to support my 5 box team 8)
BTW i have keyclone on both PCs and just bought my buddy keyclone for his PC. He is now a multi boxing addict and ill probably burn in hell for turning him :cursing: ( his wife hates me now :( )
