Hello,
I am still having problems with my UI. I can not get the UI to resize. I am running to wow.exe on the same computer same monitor. Every time I try to resize it goes to either 800x600 full screen or full screen. Is there anyway to force the screen size and UI a certain way either with keyclone, another app or through .ini configs?
Thank you

Are you trying to resize the actual UI, or the windowed screen size?...or both?
I'm not sure if it was a typo or not, but just in case, are you trying to run "2" wow.exe's?
If so, use the Maximizer in Keyclone to set up your display area.

Ok, so are you able to get Maximizer (in Keyclone) to work for both screens?
There is a simple, step-by-step guide to setting it up on Keyclone's web site.
I'm assuming your monitor resolution is set to more than 800x600?
If you just want to run two windowed copies of WoW and tab back and forth, then you'll need to check the box in your WoW Display options for Windowed mode.
I'm using bongos and xperl mods for my UI layout, both of which you can adjust the scale of.
But I think there is also an option to adjust the UI scale for WoW's default UI (no mods).

@Frosty
can you drop a screencap of your layout using bongos and what not?

I'm at work right now, but I'll try to get one a little later. :P
I'm still playing around with layouts, so mine really isn't that impressive!

I'm actually having the same problem with this right now.
I'm not using any UI mods and I'm trying to resize my UI from 800x600 to 1366x768 so that my action bars, map, and chat log are a bit bigger... as they are right now there incredibly small.
Every time I switch the resolution to 1366x768, though, and restart WoW/KC, it goes right back to being 800x600.

i was experimenting with a few mods and finished some updates to keyclone last night. v1.8h will contain an update allowing you to specify the resolution as well as maximize with smaller regions.
v1.8h is not ready for prime time yet... i want to get more in before releasing

Now when you say specify the resolution, are you talking about the resolution in game, or the resolution of the window itself?
Lookin' forward to the update :)

Almost forgot to add the screen shot.

Image doesn't seem to show up in post, so here's a link ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=RGalleryImageWrapper&itemID=82&type=original').
While testing out several different layouts, I noticed Maximer had trouble from time to time if I used the same region names over again.
Creating new region names solves the problem though. I just incremented them each time I'd change my layout. I did restart Keyclone each time, but I did not reboot...cause I'm lazy..
Can't wait to test the new version! Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
Just wanted to mention that I'm having the same problem. I'm using Maximizer with my main maximized on my main 22 inch monitor at 1650x1080 and then my other 4 regions are split into quadrants on my 2nd 22 inch monitor. I cannot get my main window to set any higher than 800x600. I'll be looking forward to that update.
