Multiple windows for watching the tropics

#1 Postby alan1961 » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:54 am

Does anyone use mutiple windows on the screen to watch areas of interest instead of just clicking on one individually each time you view?

yes ok..but when your just viewing say the sat images and sitting back do you have those images on the screen all at the same time and not just on the toolbar at the bottom?

Never. It drives me crazy not to use the whole entire screen for each window, and beside using tabs is so easy why would you not just do that? I guess everyone has their own way.

Okay...Heck no! That's too much for me! Once or twice I've watched a floater or model like that, but not often. That seems like it would give me a headache!

Well, it helps greatly if you have two monitors :ggreen:


Throw your main browsing window with tabs on monitor one, and open up another window for sats/models on monitor number two, and then open a RAMSDIS loop up on top of the #2 . . . it looks quite nice 8-)

I do it daily while surfing the net. Apparently it drives my husband crazy! He says "You can't be looking at all of them at the same time." It also drives me crazy when I leave them up or down in the taskbar and he closes them. :roll: I like checking my email, checking the sweat index for the area, bidding on Ebay and being on S2K all at the same time. :double:
