Aquasuite Dashboards, Multiple Monitors and Changing Resolutions

Sunday, August 18th 2024, 4:04pm

Because Aquasuite treats multiple monitors as a single canvas with dimensions based on the *combined* Windows desktop resolution, your dashboard will completely misposition itself when launching an application that changes screen resolution.

For instance, if I launch a game on my primary monitor that alters the primary monitor's resolution... Aquasuite will mis-calculate the dashboard positioning when the game is launched resulting in your dashboard not being in the correct location or even disappearing.

This is a terrible way to handle positioning given that applications can change screen resolution when launched. At the very least, the Aquasuite dashboard should be aware of each active monitor present and their resolution and provide separate canvases for positioning. This way, I could position the dashboard on a second monitor as I would like without a change in the primary monitor's resolution impacting the positioning on the second monitor.


Are they any plans to improve this or, at the very least, circumvent this horrible approach to positioning dashboard elements?

In THIS THREAD Aquacomputer said they have some ideas to improve how Overview pages work. If and when these enhancements will be implemented is unknown.
