Dual Monitors, and using Zenview Software

Tuesday, July 18, 2006 by bearfest | Discussion: Community

I am currently using dual monitors. I have a program called Zenview that is conflicting with Window Blinds. (there are 5 buttons instead of 3 on the top bar)The only thing that seems to be conflicking is the top bar on applications. Is there a way to have per application to not skin just the top bar, for all applications, or any ideas without having to unload Window Blinds. I would appreciate input. I can have per application to not skin certain applications, that involves alot of apps.

Thanks

Try this.... open WIndowBlinds configuration > System Information > check "Never use per pixel borders on skin" > Apply Changes. If I'm right, you're Zenview buttons will work with that setting. If I'm wrong, it was worth a shot.....

I appriciate the try. It improved somewhat, but did not remedy the issue. Again thanks.

Zenview is a program that manages multi monitors. It works by allowing each monitor to work almost independant, instead of being dependant on the primary monitor. The buttons are the normal buttons of coarse, and 2 extra buttons. 1 for transferring applications from one monitor to another, and 2, being able to stretch out a program such as exel so you can work on both screeens. There is nothing like it, Its great.

The only thing I could suggest would be, if the program allows you to turn off those buttons and use hotkeys for those tasks , you could still use WB.

Drat! I really thought that would work.....

I checked out the Zenview website last night. I wanted to try out the software, to see how it compared with UltraMon, but they don't appear to have a trial.......

No, its a 75 dollar program, unless you buy their monitors, then its free. How is UltraMon? I saw it when I was looking for utilities.
