[IxDA Discuss] Corners, edges and multiple monitors

[Kim Bieler]

Mattias,

Based on how I use my two monitors, I would suggest you do something  
closer to your first solution.

I'm thinking that if you create a zone all the way around the inside  
of screen 1 where the cursor activates the navigation, as soon as I  
travel over there with my cursor and see a navigation bar pop up, I'm  
going to slow down my mouse. So, it wouldn't take long before I "got"  
that the edges are where the navigation resides. You could help the  
user by making the right and left zones a bit wider, in case a second  
monitor is present.

I don't know if this is helpful, but Adobe palettes detect screen  
edges, even if there are two monitors (on the Mac -- I don't know  
about Windows). If I want to anchor my palettes to screen 2, they seem  
to be aware of where the edge is.
