Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
8.3.3.1 Display Wall properties
Use the Properties|Display Wall menu to enter the module configuration and the resolution of the Display Wall.
These properties are required only within the Layout Editor module. They do not have any impact on the Display
Wall when a layout is loaded. Enter any description of the Display Wall in the respective field
Check Maintain aspect ratio to have a the actual ratio of the module configuration reflected in the ratio of the
desktop of the Layout Editor. To ensure a constant ratio, when resizing the window of the Layout Editor gray
borders might occur.
Check Use Regions to organize the entire Desktop in multiple regions with e.g. restricted permissions.
If the option Use Regions is set, in addition to the layouts and shortcuts the tree view
will show regions as well.
If this option is not set, regions are hidden.
This option cannot be changed, if a layout is in autoload mode.
Furthermore you can select where unexpected windows are positioned. To prevent them from overlaying the
application, a dedicated area for unexpected windows can be defined and where these windows are moved to.
Check the option Move unexpected windows to default area.
The location of the default area and the arrangement of the unexpected windows in this
area is defined via the Default Area properties.
As soon as the option to move unexpected windows to default area is set, the tree view is
enhanced by the entry "Default area".
