Monitors Layout and Settings Panel

Available in: Actual Window Manager, Actual Multiple Monitors.

The Monitors Layout and Settings panel allows you defining the relative layout of displays and adjust their essential parameters:

• Display Layout control - displays the current layout of displays and their relative sizes and allows you either select a display device to adjust its properties or drag the selected display with the mouse to change its position within the desktop;

• Display combo box - shows the name of currently selected display device and allows selecting another device from the list;

• Screen resolution combo box - shows the current screen resolution of the selected display and allows selecting another resolution from the list of resolutions supported by this display;

• Color quality combo box - shows the current color depth in bits (either 8-, 16-, 24- or 32-bit depth) of the selected display and allows selecting another color depth from the list of depths supported by this display;

• Screen refresh rate combo box - shows the current screen refresh rate of the selected display and allows selecting another refresh rate from the list of rates supported by this display;

• Use this device as the primary monitor check box - mark it to make the selected display device primary;

• Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box - mark it to include the selected display device into the composite desktop.

• Display Orientation group of controls - provides the ability to customize the display orientation. This group will appear only if your video card driver explicitly reports to Windows about its rotation capabilities in the form of advanced video modes added to the list of supported modes: it will contain such entries as, for example, 768x1024, 1024x1280, 1200x1600, etc. for the "portrait" orientation.
