HOWTo - Set up Maximizer (Updated PiP)

[keyclone]

that is due to the size of the small regions compared to the larger one.
you need to keep the width to height ratio the same for all windows.

to determine the ratio.. do the math: width / height = aspect ratio

so... an 800x600 window would have a ratio of 1.33333 and a 400x300 window would also have a 1.33333 ratio.

make sense?

ok I'm not sure if I'm just a moron but I seen a couple videos of people who opened all their windows with 1 command... how do I do that insted of selecting each command individually? :huh:

Under "General", "startup commands", type in the names of the commands seperated by semicolons. make sure dialog box is also checked.

ah that worked thanks for that.. although now I do feel like a moron haha.. thanks again

I am hoping to dual box just the two toons using one computer with two monitors. The two monitors are different sizes the main one being 1680x1050 and the second one being 1280x960. Is it possible to run the two windows at these sizes on the two different minitos as stated? If so how do I go about setting this up using keyclone v1.8?

@Velanus

yes. just go to keyclone/setup/maximizer and configure a region for each display (you can change the display using the combo box on the right side of the panel).
then specify the region names in the appropriate commands.

the only limitation would be that those resolutions do not have the same aspect ratios. as such, if you tried to pip swap, they would look squashed or stretched.

I got them coming up in each monitor ok that wasnt really the issue, the problem i was having was setting the correct resolution for each monitor. 1680,1050 does not seem to be in the drop down menu of resolutions. Also i set both at different resolutions but when i launched they seemed to be put back to 800x600

Just type it into the box following the format of the otehr settings (I think "1680x1050" is accurate). The box doesn't have 1680x1050 but if you type it in it works just fine.

Also no matter the size of the boxes or windows it usually runs smooth if you use the same res for all of them.. I have 2 monitors also 4 windows on 1 and 1 on my main and using the same rez even though the 4 are tiny ass boxes on a 19" monitor and my main monitor is a 32" tv so the resolution is squished on my second monitor but it still runs smooth.. but also pip swaping is faster then ever and keeps the res smooth on the other window on your main monitor.. just all my opinion anyway

I take it you can't do black-bars as necessary on the bottoms/sides of the secondary screen a la movie playback? I'm a bit curious since I have a 16:10 main monitor with a 16:9 HDTV above it ATM.
