Assigning preset modes to applications 7
Assigning preset modes to applications
The Auto Mode tab allows you to associate a specific Preset Mode with a specific
application, and apply it automatically. When Auto Mode is enabled, Dell Display
Manager automatically switches to the corresponding Preset Mode whenever the
associated application is activated. The Preset Mode assigned to a particular
application may be the same on each connected monitor, or it can vary from one
monitor to another.
Dell Display Manager is pre-configured for many popu
lar applications. To add a new
application to the assignment list, simply drag the application from the desktop,
Windows Start Menu or elsewhere, and drop it onto the current list.
NOTE: Preset Mode assignments for batch files, scripts, loaders, and
non-executable files such as zip archives or packed files, are not
supported.
You can also configure the Game p
reset mode to be used whenever a Direct3D
application runs in full-screen mode. To prevent an application from using mode,
assign a different preset mode to it.
