Keyclone PiP

[fender967]

g'morning.

ok... so your main is on 1680x1050 yielding an aspect ratio of 1680/1050 == 1.6

the trick is to find a similar aspect ratio for your alts. since you have 3 on the other screen, you will most likely end up with some area no covered. i'd recommend a black background to make it look nice.

anyhow, dividing 3 into the height of your other screen, which is 1024 x 768, yields a height of 256 each. now you need the width such that:

w / 256 = 1.6

or roughly 410. so, in your maximizer editor, UNCHECK the snap to grid and set your clones to 410 x 256.. or:

clone A: x,y( 0,0 ) w,h( 410,256 )
clone B: x,y( 0,256 ) w,h( 410,256 )
clone C: x,y( 0,512 ) w,h( 410,256 )

alternatively, you could put them next to eachother for dimensions of 614 x 384... so:

clone A: x,y( 0,0 ) w,h( 614,384 )
clone B: x,y( 0,384 ) w,h( 614,384 )
clone C: x,y( 614,0 ) w,h( 614,384 )

note that clone C is to the right of A & B. this might be more readable for you, but you'll lose a small section of C (about 200 pixels). if you can bump that monitor to 1280x1024 it'd look nicer..

let me know how that works for you

I've done this. I took a few screen shots so you can see what i'm talking about.

This is my setup with 1680x1050 on 22" and 410x256 (x3) on the 15"

This is the same setup once I have hit my PiP key for the first clone.

As you can see, from switching between the PiP image and the main, they are not in the same aspect ratio. The PiPs look bloated and smashed. They look that way in their miniature windows also, its just not as easy to notice.

Not sure how relevant it is but your mini's aspect ratio is not 1.6, it is 1.6015625 for the 410x256 and 1.5989583333333333333333333333333 for 614x384

try dividing your main res dimensions by 3 e.g. 560x350 = an aspect ration dead on 1.6

can you verify the graphic settings on the large monitor? what is the resolution?
it doesn't seem to be 1050 tall

This is what its set as. My desktop is also set to 1680x1050. However, when i change my main in the WoW video settings in game from maximized to unmaximized, it doesnt take up the entire full screen still.

[keyclone]

yea, there is something off in these numbers.
you shouldn't noodle with the wow in game video settings, that would just confuse things.

also, if you change your maximizer layouts.. you will need to restart all your wows as the aspect ratio is only read once at startup

[fender967]

I was only mentioning the in game video settings to let you know that when i change it to unmaximized it isnt the full size of my screen anymore. I dont actually mess around with that when I am boxing. And yeah, i have completely restarted all WoW.exe through keyclone each time i tested a new ratio. Still like it is in the screenshots.
