Multimonitor support (ex Eyefinity)

from Stardock Forums

When running Fences Pro in 'eyefinity' mode spanning 3 monitors, at resolution 6036x1200, the fences stretch for some reason.

Shouldn't they stay on the first (leftmost) monitor without stretching and looking absurd?  Not sure if there's a reason but it's as if setting fence size is actually saving a % (of the monitor res) rather than using a hard coded width/height/x/y.  Using simple hard coded dimensions and position would be much better for me (optional feature?)

The reason this is a problem is that I switch back and forth from using eyefinity or not (turning it off is better for doing work since you can maximize windows easily on each monitor when Windows treats them separately).

I'm just guessing, I imagine fences is best if tied to the Icon spacing settings. That may not be the way it's done. I don't use Fences.....I prefer to hide my Desktop Iconsand use Tiles.

See if adjusting the spacing makes a difference (while in spanning mode)

Odd resolution.

Less expensive than a crossfire setup...BUT you do need to purchase an active display adapter to make it work...

I'm sure a HD 6850 would work good and they run about $160. Add $30 for the adapter.
