Setup seamless grid with different screen size

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I have just bought multiplicity kvm and I'm trying to configure my seamless grid to match my physical monitor setup. 

My issue is, I have a main monitor and two small monitors stacked beside it. Each of theses smaller monitors are about half the height of the main monitor. 

So I'd like to be able to seamlessly swap to 1 PC if my mouse go through the upper 50% of my screen and to the other PC if my mouse go through the bottom 50%.

Is this possible with multiplicity?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the quick answers. Sadly I couldn't find an answer to my question in the link above. I still hasn't found a way to achieve a nice layout with my 3 PC setup ( one main on big screen and 2 other pc with 2 small screens monitor stacked on the right side of my bigger screen. ). The seamless does work, but since it's not matching my physical setup it's a bit less intuitive sadly.

Here is my setup:

 

I can indeed play around with alignment settings be able to go from gray monitor to (let's say) green monitor and and it coming in a nicer position vertically, but I still need to go gray->green->red, and red->green->gray to get back to main screen. What I'd like is being able to go from any monitor, to any monitor.

 

Either the faq you liked doesn't allow this or I'm not savvy enough to understand it.

Just to emphasize the request, I have the same setup where I'd like to span two displays on top of each other to the right of the screen instead of below.  A non-grid layout would be ideal, similar to windows monitor layout setup, or more ideally, a DPI aware version of windows monitor layout like LittleBigMouse provides.  (https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse)

While not always ideal for such setups, Multiplicity is working as intended.  One just has to be mindful of how MP currently works and form habits to access the monitors they wish in unique setups.  Using Mulltiplcity's hotkey and wraparound features can help with them.

That said, this is a feature request we are aware of for future versions of Multiplicity.
