I develop mostly in one of two layouts:
- Laptop with its native 1920x1080 resolution OR
- Laptop with attached 2nd monitor (with 1650x900 resolution)
Lets call the top one LAYOUT-A and the bottom one LAYOUT-B.
When I open the Delphi and Visual Studio IDEs (or Excel, or any other application) and set up the layout of the main window, debugging, find-and-replace windows, etc I find it all works nicely...until I switch between LAYOUT-A or LAYOUT-B. Then the main Windows desktop gets messed up (icons bunched up haphazardly) and the IDEs windows need to be reset.
This gets even worse if I have to connect to a projector with some low resolution like 1024x768 for a client demo! Then I face 10-20 minutes of painful resetting up!
Is there any way, perhaps early after boot, where I can tell Windows "Hey, I'm using LAYOUT-A today!" and then everything just works??
Using Windows 8.1 here.
