14 Using HydraVision™ for Windows® 98SE/Windows®Me
Window control:
Single monitor windows—When this box is checked,
windows are sized no larger than a single monitor.
Windows that are placed on monitor splits are
automatically relocated to the monitor on which most of the
window appears.
HydraVision™ Max/Restore button management—
Allows you to control the behavior of the Windows
®
Maximize button. When HydraVision™ is running, a
HydraVision™ Max/Restore button appears in the upper
right corner of your application title bars. Clicking this icon
makes the active window maximize in one of two ways:
− Maxtowindowcornerscauses windows to
maximize to the monitor(s) that contain the
window’s upper left and lower right corners.
− Maxtofulldesktopcauses windows to maximize
to the entire monitor array.
Max child windows—Keeps windows generated by parent
applications from splitting across monitors. (A child window is
a window residing within a parent application window.) The
ability to keep child windows on a single monitor when
maximized is extremely useful for editing multiple documents
side by side in a parent application.
NOTE: The HydraVision™ application title bar icon
changes from a single square to two smaller squares when a
window is in a HydraVision™ maximized state. Clicking the
icon again restores the active window to its default state as a
single square.
General:
Application position memory—Check this box to “remember”
the size and location of application windows when they are
closed and reapply those settings when the application is
reopened.
Automatically align monitors—Under Windows
®
98SE and
Windows
®
Me, you can manually define monitor placement
from the Settings dialog in the Display Properties dialog box.
When this box is checked, HydraVision™ will override user-
defined monitor placement if the monitors are not evenly
aligned.
