dual monitors w/ different resolutions (WindowBlinds-related)
Sunday, October 31, 2004 by sevres | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hey, guys,
I use a laptop that has a 15.1" LCD display as the primary and has a 17" LCD display hooked up as the secondary. A 1280*1024 resolution on that hooked-up 17" LCD runs okay, but a resolution larger than 1204*768 on the primary 15.1" LCD gives me a headache: the LCD only shows 1024*768 pixels of whatever larger resolution you have. I tried to cope with it, but it's simply unbearable, especially when I am in a hurry.
Now, I applied a few WindowBlinds skins a few days ago, but WindowBlinds seems to recognize a uniform 1280*1204 resolution on both displays. So, what I have is that, if I maximize a window in my secondary 17" LCD, the right part of the window will just be not visible (i.e. I can't see the min/max/close window buttons located at the top right-hand corner). For a graphic representation, please check out this (ugly) illustration: http://myweb.hinet.net/home13/galearii/outofedge.jpg
I am running Windows XP SP1 (yes, 1) and WindowBlinds 4.4 shareware. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Are you sure the geometry settings on your second monitor are adjusted right? You might have your monitor thinking that its viewable area is off the screen.
