Sharing Win8 Multi-Monitor Functional Knowledge

Win8 uses a multi-monitor to make the desktop more user-friendly, improve the efficiency of multiple applications, improve the efficiency of the user interface, and use Metro style and desktop applications in parallel. For the Win8 multi-monitor function, I believe that many friends are not familiar with it. Today we will learn about the Win8 multi-display function.

1. How to start multi-monitor

Compared with the familiar Win7, Win8's multi-monitor support has not changed much, just changed the position. To access the Metro or traditional desktop, bring up the Start menu and click on "Devices" Select.

Win7 and as can be seen, particularly Win8 also provides four display modes, respectively, " Disconnect (disconnect auxiliary screen) ", " Duplicate (copy main screen) ", "Extend" and "Display Only". Users who are familiar with multi-monitor operations should be familiar with this.

2. Extend is new.

Maybe you will say, hey! This Win8 doesn't look special. Actually, let's take an example. For example, if we set the display mode to the most commonly used multi-screen user "Extend" (expanding the main screen to the auxiliary screen), a very obvious change will come out. Originally on the second screen, Win8 showed the taskbar. Of course, the function may not be perfect, or for other reasons, this taskbar is still somewhat different from the main screen. There is no date and time, and the system tray is not displayed, but its highlight is hidden at the left of the screen. The small button on the side, after clicking, we realize the effect of different desktops on the main screen and the auxiliary screen respectively. For example, you can display the traditional desktop on the main screen and the Metro desktop on the auxiliary screen, which is the biggest advancement of Win8 multi-display function. .

In addition of course, that long white taskbar also not take a place, and when the program after the main screen is opened, will automatically synchronize to the secondary screen icon status up (as for program The screen is displayed manually 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.

If you think these Win8 is a multi-monitor setup of all, it would be wrong, because it has a Very popular design —— multi-screen personalized wallpaper. If you happen to right click on the mouse in the wallpaper panel, you will see it change. In Win8, each wallpaper can be set directly to Screen 1 or Screen 2, which means we can set different wallpapers directly for the main screen and the secondary screen. Said enough to understand it, we Figure it!

Is not see a lot of fresh knowledge of it? I did not expect Win8 there are these little knowledge people are not easily found, in fact, like this There are still a lot of small changes and little knowledge, but they are all over the top of the powerful Metro. But as long as we explore it carefully, we will find more secrets that are unknown.
