Alignment Settings for vertical monitors

from Stardock Forums

I have Multiplicity on two PC's with their monitors stacked vertically. The primary Multiplicity PC runs the bottom single monitor at 1920 x 1080. The secondary PC runs dual screen monitors above at 3840 x 1080. The dual monitors are aligned such that the seem between the two are centered over the center of the bottom monitor (in an inverted pyramid if you will).

I'd like to have the mouse move directly from the bottom monitor to it's corresponding physical alignment on one of the top monitors. So if it's on the left half of the bottom monitor (1A) it moves up to the top left monitor (2A) and if it's on the right side of the bottom monitor (1A) it moves up to the top right monitor (2B). Currently moving my mouse up from 1A moves only to 2A, even when the cursor is positioned below 2B.

Is it even possible with this software? I can't slid the grid around to offset the rows and columns positions, which would be nice. Can I tweak the Alignment Settings to make this happen? I can't figure out exactly what they do and the documentation doesn't elaborate on what they do.

Thanks!

I do not know if we have ever had this request however it may be possible.  It will require experimentation though.

Add your secondary PC above the primary and open the alignment settings.  Change them to a negative number and then move your cursor up from the two upper corners of the monitor and see where on the top screens it shows up.  Much may depend on monitor size and resolution.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I experimented as you suggested and found that adjusting the horizontal alignment of the secondary computer to +960 (half of the primary computer's horizontal 1920 resolution) did the trick. Moving the mouse directly up from the single bottom primary monitor will now flow directly to the corresponding secondary dual monitors in a seamless fashion. 

Your suggestion put me on the right path to find the solution I sought. Thank you so much!!

hi,

i am also working with several monitors. In my Case i running 2 FullHd Display 23" and one 46" Full Hd Screen above. Is there a solution to scale the monitor, so the monitor above is "virtual" running on a double scale, so the mouse will move correctly ?
