Enhanced key features for dual-monitor use

• Corners and edges are active on all monitors

o Browsing through the corner of the mouse screen, or browsing through the touch of the edge of the screen, are the Windows 8 core browsing Experience

Part. It is important to support these corners and edges in the correct way on PCs with multiple monitors. Windows 8 Passes

Make the corners and edges of all attached monitors active to achieve this goal.

o when it comes to Windows UIs and applications, there is no concept of a single primary display. A display on which you access a corner

will be the monitor that displays the interface.

Accessing the Start screen or the previous application from the left corner will always open the UI on the monitor whose corners you access.

This also applies to charms Bar.

• Easily move a Windowsui application to another monitor o you can easily move a Windows UI application to another monitor by grabbing the Windows UI application on the top edge and dragging it from one monitor to another.

If the application is crawled, the application is also crawled on other monitors.

o by using keyboard shortcuts Win+pgup and WIN+PGDN, you can also move a Windows UI application from one monitor to another

Note:

Windows UI applications can only be displayed on a single monitor at a time.

• Browsing along the shared edge has improved

O on PCs with multiple displays, one or more screen edges may be shared. For example, two monitors placed next to each other

(where each monitor has the same screen resolution) will share the top and bottom edges of the screen. Because the corners

It is important to browse in Windows 8, so we need to be able to easily click on each corner, but when you can't

This is difficult to achieve when you move the mouse to any corner, as on a single display system.

O To resolve this issue, we created a real corner on the edge of the share so that once the corner is locked, you click on the corner,

Windows will not allow you to accidentally cross corner boundaries. It does this by extending the corners on the shared edge

Therefore, if you move along the edge and click on the corners (within 6 pixels), the mouse will stop. You can think of it as a 6-pixel

The wall expands from the shared corner.

In the screenshot, the red line indicates that you will enter the area of the real corner.

On the main taskbar and taskbars on the other displays ("All icons on the main taskbar and on the taskbar of other monitors") will only display icons on the monitor on which the application is running, or only

Displays an icon on the taskbar running 789app.

• Set different backgrounds for each monitor

O You can now set a different background for each monitor. When you select a personalized theme, Windows 8 automatically
