I have a /shame 21" crt monitor atm and set the splits in all different combinations to get 3 accounts working. Best I have come up with is basically 2/3 main split on the left with desktop showing top and bottom. The last 3rd of the screen is split into 2 even halves. I can see the basic layouts on all 3 screen sbut have to increase the font size on the main window.

Has anyone found a way to work around using minimal real estate and poor monitor size without going down the larger widescreen monitor or upgrading to dual screen gfx card? I am currently justifying the $$ to the missus so I can get said upgrades but until then LOL /suggestions??

Can u just have the other 2 sit behind in a staggered setup or is it ideal to see all 3 windows at once whilst playing???

When I was using a 19" to view 3 of my toons (1 main, and 2 alts), I had the main fill up most of the screen and the 2 alts behind it in small windows.

I just made sure that the mini map for one of the alts was close to the mini map for the main so that I could see any herbs around us.

When I was in instances, I usually had my main window at full screen completely covering the other 2.

It worked for me until I upgraded my monitor. 8o
