Assigning Preset Modes to Applications
The Auto Mode tab allows you to associate a specific Preset Mode with a specific
application, and apply it automatically. When Auto Mode is enabled, Dell Display
Manager automatically switches to the corresponding Preset Mode whenever the
associated application is activated. The Preset Mode assigned to a particular
application may be the same on each connected monitor, or it can vary from one
monitor to another.
Dell Display Manager is pre-configured for many popular applic
ations. To add a new
application to the assignment list, simply drag the application from the desktop,
Windows Start Menu or elsewhere, and drop it onto the current list.
NOTE: Preset Mode assi
gnments for batch files, scripts, loaders, and
non-executable files such as zip archives or packed files, are not
supported.
You can also configure the Game preset mode
to be used whenever a Direct3D
application runs in full-screen mode. To prevent an application from using mode,
assign a different preset mode to it.
Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange
Easy Arrange helps you to effectively organize your application windows on the
desktop. You first choose a pre-defined layout pattern which suits your work, then
you just need to drag the application windows into the defined zones. Press “>” or
use Page Up/Page Down key to find more layouts.
To create a custom layout, right-click on the thumbnail with a tiny triangle at the
bottom
right corner, arrange the numbers of rows and columns in the open window,
and then click OK to set up your preferred arrangement.
