Hey guys. Only ever used 1920x1080 but watched a few videos at 2560 and it looked, well, different obviously. Want to fit all 5 windows on the one screen, my driver being on top of the other 4 and trying to figure if the game functions better for a boxer at the higher horizontal resolutions with all 5 instances on one monitor? My 1920x1080 25” seems a little cramped so looking at a 30 or 32” with bigger horizontal. Anyone?
I do a 21:9 ratio at 3440 x 1440. 5 accounts.
In the bottom right I run 4 overlays for the 4 others at a resolution of 500 x 210 each.
I'll say this. It's incredibly useful to see them without having to turn your head. Mechanically that delay can cost you runs given the extreme focus on movement in BFA.
Heyas, can you post a screenshot of how your windows are setup by chance? I'm not exactly sure what ya mean.
I do this exact thing but with my 4 overlays on the left.I love all the real estate i have without the need for extra monitors 8)Quote:

woah, I have never seen that or knew that could be done. Is there a guide on how to do that? That is awesome. and what add-on do you use to move like the group window and other stuff around? I did watch the video fx tutorial just now but that didn't explain how to do what you did with your 4 windows where they are. I am sorta dumb when it comes to isboxer tho....Quote:

For this the inspiration was from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDL3Qj4WYnc&t=661s, MiRai's Final Fantasy XVI - A Second Look At Multiboxing. When I switched to 1440p I hated all of the odd resolutions I was having to come up with for my main window and the dxNothing window. I wanted to go full screen. I just do a simple stacked full screen window layout for my team. Then I have a key map that creates four VFX Viewer windows for each character (I just use the built in is1, is2, etc. video sources.) Slot one creates windows for 2-5, slot two creates 1+3-5, slot three 1-2+4-5, etc. It also creates my healing and buffing click bars. I execute this key map when the character set is loaded or reloaded. I also have another key map with two steps that toggles all of these so hitting Shift+F12 will toggle those on or off in case I need to see full screen.
To move the unit frames around I use Luna for Classic and Shadowed Unit Frames for Retail. I love oUF but I have not had time to get it working for Classic yet and have been lazy in updating my copy with BfA (and I pretty much just play Classic these days.) Doing the toggle (and/or using an addon like Blizmove) was a must as these overlays sometimes interfere with UI windows. For my action bars I use Dominoes. If you like I can clean up my profile and post it some where, there is nothing really special in it :)
My head just exploded. I was following it all until then... Spent 2 hours looking at around 6 different videos and read multiple threads, but I am just not advanced enough to do this. Literally like speaking Chinese and just too confusing. I appreciate you walking through how you did it, thank you.Quote:
