Off-center stream to bottom half is really cool but

[JeffTHX]

Hello, my laptop is open but the top third of the laptop screen is obscured by my big physical monitor.

I need a way to trick Mac to only use the bottom 2/3s of the Macbook screen. Custom Timing resolutions in SwitchResX don't work on M1/Apple Sillicon.

I tried your product, saw I could do custom scaling with same horizontal pixels and reduced vertical pixel, but unfortunately this puts it in the center.

Then I tried your off-center streaming which is really cool but I need to consolidate the two monitors because it's too many (4 total) for my Windows Remote Desktop session which I use for work. I tried mirroring instead, but that puts it on the center again.

Is there any way to do off-center mirroring to the bottom half or bottom 2/3rds, which that the virtual display and physical display are consolidated into one so as to not exceed the maximum 3 displays for my Windows Remote Desktop session?

Excellent product. Thank you for hard work.

Hmm. Isn't it possible to select which display to make accessible with WIndows Remote Desktop?

Btw: are you using Remote Desktop to connect to a Mac? Is that even possible? :)

I wish the Mac app for Windows Remote Desktop lets you choose which monitors. Only has a setting for all or one.

It’s the Mac Remote Desktop client for connecting to a windows server machine, for work.

I found one workaround. I disable my laptop screen so I start the Remote Desktop session with two externals plus a virtual at resolution 2/3rds of my laptop display. Then once my session is started, I re-enable stage laptop display which restores the off-center stream of the virtual display to laptop screen. When, adding this 4th display AFTER I establish my Windows session, it doesn’t mess it up. The Remote Desktop app still thinks there’s only 3: the two external and the virtual.

Please let me know if you figure out a way to mirror/consolidate off-center.
