I've noticed that you still have World of Warcraft in the list with the misleading screenshots. Has the fov been addressed by Blizzard?

Updating the SGU is nice and all, but PowerDesk-SE could use some patching too don't you think? :?

Known issues (I mean knwon to me): sloooow tray icon response to right-clicking, much-needed button to access each section from another one (instead of using tray icon), Desktop Management settings reset to default upon reboot ...

While we're on the subject of suggestions. I would like to ask that you put in a word to the programmers to turn off bezel management when switching to a resolution such as 3840x1024 to 1280x1024. (I do this because in desktop mode the side monitors are on a separate card).

The problem is that if bezel management is still on when I exit the game, Matrox PowerDesk crashes. This is easily bypassed by remembering to turn it off beforehand, but it would be nice to have this feature for when I forget. Also fixing the crash that happens when accidentally pushing the hotkey for bezel management in a non-surround resolution would be nice too.

Mark: It's good to see a rep out in the community.

I'd like to suggest that you contact the maker of GridMove (link) and see if he'll let you bundle that. I've found it to be indispensable (and much handier for my daily use than PowerDesk).

I made grids for it which can be found here: (link) and here: (link)

My TH2G grid has these grids (window locations):
Code:
._______ _______ _______
   |       |       |       |
   |   1   |   2   |   3   |  one for each full screen (1,2,3)
   |       |       |       |
   '-------'-------'-------'
    _______ _______ _______
   |               |       |
   |       4       |   3   |  left + center (4)
   |               |       |
   '-------'-------'-------'
    _______ _______ _______
   |       |               |
   |   1   |       5       |  center + right (5)
   |       |               |
   '-------'-------'-------'
    _______ _______ _______
   |   |               |   |  2 screens wide but centered (6) (windowed game)
   | 7 |       6       | 8 |
   |   |               |   |  Half screens on either side of centered grid (7,8)
   '-------'-------'-------' (Skype/TeamSpeak/...)


I found Vert- games :evil: to be mostly bearable when run in a window in grid 6. :)

I also have a six screen grid for two TH2G units in span mode. (2 screens high x 3 screens wide) :D

I agree. Powerdesk, with its screwy bezel management issues , has been left in a messy and buggy state for way too long.
