Keyclones maximizer feature

[henrik.falk]

First of i think it's good to state that Keyclone doesn't use maximizer per see,
it just offer similar capabilities. That seems to throw some people off.

Second i haven't been able to create this layout, is it currently possible?

/-------------------\
|..2.|...........|..3..|
|.....|...........|......|
|----|.....1....|-----|
|..4.|...........|..5..|

... 10 boxing?

... 10 boxing?

You were just way to quick :-)
The forum truncated all my spaces,
i added periods and numbers in there to try and make it clearer.

I fivebox.

Ahhhhh /me chuckles
I'm fairly sure it is possible although I don't know how and it would just be speculation.

I'll leave this one to someone more qualified ;-)

yes, you can specify any layout you want using the new region editor. it doesn't work 100% the way i'd like, but you can layout any region pattern you want.

on the maximizer panel
hit reset to clear
hit the '+' to get a new region
left-click drag the region around
uncheck the snap to grid for easier movement
or you can type the position/dimension at the top to position the region directly.
left-click drag the corners to resize.

repeat for all your regions.
right-click to remove a region

left clicking on a region selects it

you can name each region, which comes in handy with commands

the new command editor will enable you to specify a particular region for each command. no more guessing.

Most monitors are wider then they are tall. So you COULD do this but the scaling would be..... odd with a single screen.

It works great if you use five individual 17" monitors but say you use a single 30" to do what you propose.

2560 x 1600

would be wider than your example, more like this:

/-----------------------\
|..2.|................|..3..|
|.....|................|......|
|----|........1......|-----|
|..4.|................|..5..|
|.....|................|......|
\-----------------------/

Each end one would be 640 x 800 and the middle would be 1280 x 1600. Go much smaller than a 30" and forget it. WoW at 512x640 would be near unplayable.

So with the 30" - playable? Yes. But your aspect ratio would be quite a bit strange looking. Tall but not wide. Try it out and see if it is workable for you or not. My personal suggestion is to get a 2nd monitor or of course a dedicated monitor per box

[keyclone]

actually, keyclone will adjust the aspect ratio for you... so no matter what region dimensions you choose, within reason... it seems to always come out fine (no fun-house mirrors)

[Xzin]

Really? That is pretty nifty. WoW Maximizer seems to do that but you still lose SOME "data" by cutting off the edges like that.

[henrik.falk]

I have a 17" inch widescreen with 1920x1200, so it works out to:
1x: 960x600
4x: 480x300

Right now i use this setup:

/---------------\
|........1.........|
|---------------|
|.2.|.3.|.4.|.5.|
\---------------/

So i basically just want to make section 1 into a square.
I'm not saying that section 2,3,4 and 5 are great, but it let's me see
when they start running off in random directions on their own :-)

A bit of a problem is that wow seems to render the game 800x600,
it's just not showing all of it in my tiny sections. But i really don't need to
mess around with the clones as i play. Just make sure they are still
following.

[Wilbur]

Hmm...

Buying another monitor might be an idea ;-)
