ty zorba. looking at your setup now and will try to adapt it. thanks!

and @fur, ty for the suggestion, but using focus still doesnt help the alts switch to following the current active main because the follow macro for that system references the toons by name. and if I were to have the toons follow the focus, it still isnt as fluid as the current system where you can just click on the new screen and the alts will follow automatically when you push the follow macro. ty for the feedback though.
