Win8 system multi-display function experience

1. How to start multi-display

Compared with the familiar Win7, Win8's multi-monitor support has not changed much, just changed the position. Need to enter the Metro or traditional desktop, call up the start menu, then click “Devices” select.

It can be seen that like Win7, Win8 also provides four specific display modes, respectively, "Disconnect" (disconnected screen), "Duplicate (copy home screen)", "Extend" (Extension of the main screen) & rdquo; and “ Display only (display only the auxiliary screen) & rdquo;. Users who are familiar with multi-monitor operation should be very 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” (expanded main screen to 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. .

Of course, in addition to this, the long taskbar is not white, when the program is opened on the main screen, it will automatically synchronize the icon status to the auxiliary screen (as for the program display) One 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. Little secrets you don't know

If you think that these are all the Win8 multi-monitor settings, it's a big mistake because it has a very good style. 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 directly set to screen 1 or screen 2, which means we can set different wallpapers directly for the main screen and the secondary screen. Say it enough, let's see the picture!

Written in the end

How? Unexpectedly, in Win8, there are still many small changes like this, but only They were all over the powerful Metro to "cover". In short, launch your brain and explore it carefully. Win8 actually has a lot of small changes that make people feel heart-warming.
