I'm sure some of you switched between Eyefinity/Surround (or both together known as SLS - Single Large Surface) multiple times a day. And every time all windows positions have been totally messed up. Well, tonight i had enough of that.
I've used AutoIT to write a simple tool which runs in the Background and automatically repositions all my open Windows when i switch from Extended Mode to Eyefinity or back.
Every 2 Seconds a List of all Windows which are not minimized is created.
it checks in this list if the Main Monitor is on the Top Left Corner or not. If you have any monitor left from your Main Monitor it will detect a Extended Setup.
if you switch to Eyefinity/Surround it detects that change and knows top right corner is on 0 0 and not -1920 0 anymore.
After a Delay of 22 seconds (Yes, it really takes over 20 seconds for Radeon Settings to Switch to Eyefinity and get the Radeon settings Menu back online with the Eyefinity specific settings) all the Windows will be moved to the Position 6 seconds before the change has been detected.
This also works the other way around. Switching back from Eyefinity to Extended takes a 3 seconds delay and then moves all the windows as they have been 6 seconds before the detected change.
It should.... most Likely... i have no possiblity to test it but if it doesn't take longer than 22 seconds to setup Surround after the Desktop Resolution has changed it should.
8.1 most likely works too. 7 and Vista might work.
Currently not, it's optimized for 1920 width monitors. But if you change the Values yourself there is no reason why it wouldn't.
It's an AutoIt script compiled into an .exe they often are missdetected as a virus. If you don't trust the .exe simply copy the code and compile it yourself.
modified the Delay. It's preset to 1second and waits as long as it takes until it can move a window before it continues.
Might cause problems if you close or minimze a window in that moment when you switch to EF. Increase Dealy to prevent this.
Added Bezel correction.
Here you have the full AutoIt code: A compiled .exe is attached below.
