WIN8 System Multi-monitor function experience

1. How to start multiple monitors

Compared with previous familiar Win7, WIN8 's multiple monitor support changes little, but only changes the position. Need to enter Metro or traditional desktop, call the Start menu, then click "Devices" Selection.

You can see that, like Win7, Win8 also provides four specific display modes, namely "Disconnect (disconnect secondary screen)", "Duplicate (Copy Master screen)", "Extend (extended main screen)" and "Display only (auxiliary screen only)". Users who are familiar with multiple display operations should be familiar with this.

2. Extend present new ideas

Maybe you would say, hey, this Win8 look nothing special. In fact, for example, we set the display mode to the most commonly used "Extend" (extended main screen to secondary screen), a very obvious change came out. Originally on the second screen, Win8 shows the taskbar. Of course, it is not perfect function, or other aspects of the consideration, this taskbar and the main screen or some differences, no date time, the system tray also did not show over, but its bright spot is hidden in the screen leftmost small button, click after we realized the main screen and the secondary screen to render different desktop effects, For example, you can present the main screen of the traditional desktop, secondary screen display Metro desktop, and this is also the Win8 Multi-monitor features the greatest progress.

Of course, the long taskbar is not a white space, when the program is open in the main screen, also automatically sync icon state to the secondary screen (as for the program displayed in which screen is manually determined by the user), the advantage is that no matter which screen can directly understand the current system program open. Of course, this feature also supports taskbar thumbnails and jumplist.

3. A little secret you don't know

If you think these are all of the WIN8 settings, it's a big mistake, because it has a very attractive design--multiple screen personalized wallpaper. If you happen to have a right mouse click in the wallpaper panel, you'll see how it changes. In Win8, each wallpaper can be set directly to screen 1 or screen 2, which means we can set up different wallpapers for the main and secondary screens. That's enough, let's see the picture!

Written in the last

What? Unexpectedly, in fact, in the WIN8, similar to such a small change there are many, but are the mighty Metro to "cover" down. In short, start your brain, a careful groping, Win8 in fact there are a lot of small changes to the heart.
