			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/windows_software.jpg" alt="windows software" title="windows software" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-16120" />Most users with multi monitor systems run the computer monitors side by side. Some users on the other hand use systems where the other computer monitor is not directly viewable, e.g. one normal computer monitor next to the computer system and a media center TV in another location.</p>
<p>Multi Monitor Manager is a lightweight portable solution to control multiple monitors that are connected to a computer system from the main system. The software program will immediately display the screens of all connected computer monitors with the option to interact with each of them using the computer mouse and keyboard.</p>
<p><span id="more-16243"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/multi_monitor-500x334.jpg" alt="multi monitor" title="multi monitor" width="500" height="334" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-16244" /></p>
<p>A click on a computer monitor window makes it possible to interact with the elements that are displayed on the computer screen. It is possible to resize the screen for better access. This is recommended as the default window size is rather smallish. Everything that can be done directly on a computer system with the mouse and computer keyboard can also be done using the Multi Monitor software. This includes opening and closing programs, typing text, launching commands or taking screenshots.</p>
<p>The multi monitor manager uses mostly cpu resources while running but barely any computer memory. Users who operate computer systems with multiple monitors might want to check out the portable software program. It was developed by <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/">Skrommel</a> who is a member of <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/">Donation Coder</a>. It can be downloaded directly using this <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2512.0;attach=43393">link</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/mpq/index.html">Multi Photo Quotes</a> is a screensaver designed for multi monitor computer systems &#8211; but working on one monitor systems as well &#8211; that can display images, quotes or a combination thereof. At its core stands the possibility to display images. An image can be displayed across all computer monitors, on one monitor in fullscreen or in one grid of the monitor. Grids can be defined in the program&#8217;s options. </p>
<p>That could pose an excellent idea to use the screensaver as a photo wall. The display is automatically changing every 30 seconds. This can be changed in the options as well.</p>
<p>The screensaver software comes with the ability to add quotes automatically to each photo set. Quotes are taken from so called quote books. Five of them are installed on the computer during the screensaver installation. Those books are simple text files that contain one quote a line. It is therefor easy to add a custom quote book or edit existing ones.</p>
<p><span id="more-9833"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/multi-monitor-screensaver.jpg" alt="multi monitor screensaver" title="multi monitor screensaver" width="404" height="313" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9834" /></p>
<p>The options of the screensaver are quite extensive. The program offers extensive options to configure the display of the quotes and images. This ranges from selecting the right fonts for the quotes to configuring minimum and maximum sizes for photos on the screen.</p>
<p>One main application for Multi Photo Quotes could be to install them on family computers to display family photos (and quotes) whenever the screensaver becomes active.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fourth day of the Ghacks Christmas Giveaway. We already handed out Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, Newsbin Pro, <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/03/07/giganews-usenet-trials/">Giganews</a> Accounts and MediaMonkey Gold licenses. Today&#8217;s giveaway is Display Fusion Pro, one of the better, if not the best, multi-monitor desktop wallpaper and window management applications.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/">Display Fusion</a> can be downloaded as a free version from the developer&#8217;s website with limited functionality. The pro version of Display Fusion can be ordered as well on the same website. The version comparison between Display Fusion and Display Fusion Pro list the features that are only available in the Pro version including wallpaper rotation, custom hotkeys or the fine tuning of the background image position.</p>
<p>The main feature of Display Fusion is to display wallpapers on multiple desktops. The user may display different wallpapers on each desktop or use one wallpaper that spans across all of them. Each computer monitor connected to the computer system is displayed in Display Fusion&#8217;s main interface.</p>
<p>The user can load wallpapers from his computer or Flickr and make them the default wallpaper for the computer monitor. Display Fusion Pro provides access to background image positioning which can be used to fine tune the location of the wallpaper on the monitor. It&#8217;s also possible to use one of the seven display modes that range from stretching the image to fitting the width or height while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image.</p>
<p><span id="more-8710"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/displayfusion-500x397.jpg" alt="display fusion" title="display fusion" width="500" height="397" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8711" /></p>
<p>Users of Display Fusion Pro can enable wallpaper rotation in the same interface. They can either add a list of wallpapers from their computer or get their wallpapers directly from Flickr.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/display_fusion_flickr-500x343.jpg" alt="" title="display fusion flickr" width="500" height="343" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8712" /></p>
<p>Images can be grabbed from Flickr users, groups or by searching for text. The wallpapers set will then be used to rotate the computer&#8217;s wallpaper in a time interval specified by the user. One interesting option is to freeze a wallpaper. This will stop the process of rotating wallpapers and make the current one the default wallpaper.</p>
<p>Display Fusion comes with window management features as well which have been specifically designed for multi-monitor systems. Windows can be easily moved between computer monitors including maximized windows. It is furthermore possible to position windows on the same computer monitor. It is for instance possible to center a window on the current monitor or to snap it to one of the monitor&#8217;s edges.</p>
<p>One main benefit of Display Fusion Pro is the ability to configure custom window sizing and moving hotkeys. Other interesting features include Window Snapping with the option to exclude applications from it or maximized window dragging between computer monitors.</p>
<p>The newest Beta of Display Fusion Pro enabled another long requested feature to the application. Users can enable a taskbar on every computer monitor. The feature is still beta but it already provides two possibilities for users. The first is to display a Display Fusion Taskbar on additional monitors that is showing all windows like the taskbar on the main computer monitor. The second option is to only display the windows that are open on each monitor.</p>
<p>Jon Tackabury is regularly updating his website <a href="http://www.binaryfortress.com/">Binary Fortress</a> with new information about Display Fusion and other software projects.</p>
<p>Five licenses for Display Fusion Pro are up for grabs. Just reply in the comments and let us know that you want one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you ever saw a dual-monitor or even multi-monitor setup under Windows you might have noticed that the Windows Taskbar is not expanding to the other connected monitors but stays locked on the main computer monitor. That taskbar will display all open folders and applications of all three computer monitors regardless on which monitor they are shown in the computer system.</p>
<p>Multi-Monitor Taskbar by <a href="http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm">Mediachance</a> (via <a href="http://shellcity.net/">Shellcity</a>) ends that by adding a unique taskbar to every computer monitor that gets connected to the computer system. Each taskbar is only displaying the folders and applications that are started in its boundaries which makes the file and folder management that much easier.</p>
<p>The free version of Multi-Monitor Taskbar comes with a few additional handy features like a move to monitor button in Windows XP. It is however limited in comparison to the commercial pro version which adds features like theme support or the ability to resize windows across multiple monitors.</p>
<p><span id="more-8023"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/multi-monitor_taskbar.jpg" alt="" title="multi-monitor taskbar" width="439" height="165" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8024" /></p>
<p>The main function however is available in the free version and that&#8217;s probably all that most dual-monitor users need. The pro version comes as a Shareware trial which can be used to test the additional features to see if it&#8217;s worth the money.</p>
