Virtual Display Manager

Wednesday, 05 September 2007 by Michel Roth

Teknica.com (the company which also is responsible for the iShadow application suite) is planning on releasing a new product: Virtual Display Manager. Virtual Display Manager is an application that allows you to treat your monitor or monitors as virtual monitors. This way you can rearrange it in almost any way you like. Virtual Display Manager supplements your existing single or multi-monitor system with the convenience of additional virtual displays that can subdivide existing physical screens. This is the feature set:

� Works with any number of physical monitors and is configurable per physical monitor.
� Can split each physical monitor into up to 16 individual Virtual Displays.
� Virtual Displays can be evenly sized or individually scaled to fit user�s requirements, i.e. evenly spaced layouts and asymmetrical configurations are supported. This is important when monitors of different sizes and aspect ratios are involved.
� Supports local logins and remote connections - Microsoft RDP and Citrix ICA sessions, VNC and Radmin, are just a few examples.
� Allows for switching between local and remote logins without loss in system window configuration and placement, which is independent from the monitor count or size.
� Provides for icon placement control when changing to different monitor geometry or configuration.

Here's a snapshot of Virtual Display Manager in action:

Virtual Display Manager supports all 32 bit Windows 2003, XP and Vista versions. x64 support is on the way. A release is planned for mid-September. Virtual Display Manager will probably be sold separately as well as being available to iShadow Application Suite customers with a subscription.
