5 boxing on one box

[PineBeach]

I had a quick look at ISBoxer the other day, I couldn't figure out how to resize the windows when setting up, I'll have another go on the weekend. It looks pretty good, among other things it allows you to have a seperate config file for each character which is really good.

I have finished my HotKeyNet window swapping script, it uses the following keys

Pause - Toggles hot keys on or off, I use this when I dont want to broadcast key presses to all windows
Ctrl Alt A - Toggle active window tracking
Ctrl Alt L - Launch 5 instances of world of warcraft
Ctrl Alt X - Make the active window the main window
Ctrl Alt F1 - Make WoW1 the main window
Ctrl Alt F2 - Make WoW2 the main window
Ctrl Alt F3 - Make WoW3 the main window
Ctrl Alt F4 - Make WoW4 the main window
Ctrl Alt F5 - Make WoW5 the main window
Ctrl Alt D Arrange the windows in the default layout
Keys 1 - 0 and the minus key

I use it with a screen resolution of 2560 x 1600 on windows 7

Before pressing Ctrl Alt L I open up an instance of wow, change the graphics settings to low, windowed, a resolution of 720x576 and disable sound, then shut it down, otherwise my machine wouldn't be able to handle it when five of them start up.

Is there a way to limit the fps of the smaller windows?

Once the instances of wow have loaded there are two indicators in the bottom right of the screen to tell me whether hot keys are enabled and whether active window tracing is on, active window tracking is an operating system feature that causes the window with the mouse over it to recieve focus, this makes things much easier when switching windows.

When the script loads hot keys are disabled by default and I press the Pause key to enable them.

The default window layout is

WoW5 - Top Left
WoW4 - Bottom Left
WoW3 - Top Middle
WoW2 - Top Right
WoW1 - Main

I posted a screenshot a few days ago
