Question - Different screen resolutions (1 Viewer)

[nezstor]

Is there a easy way to get differet screen resolutions and positions when launching a 6 box team?
Either with a plugin, 3rd party software or some native eq way?
I will try the WinSplit Revolution software that I saw in an old post.

some folks use isboxer

but frankly, the "i need to see all my dudes at once" is kinda gone the way of the do-do with the reliability of automation and with performance increasing things like frameliniter

^^This. I used IsBoxer previously. Things went wonky with the 64-bit transition, and I never bothered to try to make it work. Leave the driver on top, switch to the others as needed with hotkeys.

I manage my crew with my main character on a non-MQ computer with nice monitors. The MQ groupies run on a separate laptop. The laptop screen is in powersave (off) most of the time.

I run them all at the same windowed full screen resolution, and use Control-F1 through Control-F5 to switch if needed.

ISBoxer has been and continues to be my go to. Still works flawlessly for me.

Same here.

I'm also a creature of habit though and prefer not to change unless I have to

Same! I just don't try new things sometimes for the sake of doing it. If my process is working, why change?

Yeah ISBOXER is such a great tool.

It doesnt behave flawlessly since Framelimiter was introduced so there are compromises - but it will do what you are asking it to do. Manage window layouts.

Anyone figure out how to get edge-to-edge full screen in windowed mode, so that you can easily move mouse between 2 monitors, without ISBoxer?

nope, that's just 1 more reason to keep using it.

Do you mean 1 client of EQ?

Do you mean 1 client of EQ?

Yes, just a single client on one PC.

For giggles... I logged into EQ directly, without ISBoxer, and viola, it is full screen windowed mode edge to edge, like I always wanted. So long story short, ISBOXER not required for a pretty UI.

Doing an alien autopsy on my eqclient.ini - here is what I found relevant, your mileage may vary.

[Defaults]
WindowedMode=TRUE
WindowedModeXOffset=-8       ;Adjust per your Window's theme border width
WindowedModeYOffset=-31      ;Adjust per your Window's theme title bar height
AllowResize=0
Maximized=0
RestoredXOffset=0
RestoredYOffset=0
RestoredWidth=1920           ;Set to the full resolution of your monitor
RestoredHeight=1080          ;Set to the full resolution of your monitor
AlwaysOnTop=1                   ; hides the window's taskbar, hit windows key to bring it back. 

[VideoMode]
Width=1920
Height=1080
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080

The

AllowResize=0

has saved me a ton of headaches lately...
