6. Arrange windows

6.1 Automatic arrangement

According to the number of running emulators and the size of the computer screen, an intelligent algorithm is used for optimal arrangement.

6.2 Custom arrangement

6.2.1 Grid arrangement
You can customize the number of emulators displayed in each row, and select the window size rule to arrange

6.2.1.1 Keep the landscape/portrait style to adjust the window size

According to the total number of emulators running/the number of emulators displayed in each row, the total number of displayed rows can be obtained, and the vertical and horizontal screen styles of the window before the arrangement will be retained, and the window size can be adjusted to allow all running The emulator in is displayed on the screen;

For example, the total number of running emulators is 4 (including 2 horizontal screens and 2 vertical screens), and when the number of windows in each row is 2, the display effect is as follows:

6.2.1.2 Adjust all windows to the same size

According to the total number of emulators running/the number of emulators displayed in each row, the total number of displayed rows can be obtained. Confirming the arrangement will adjust all windows to the same size and display them on the computer screen in the form of grids;

For example, when the total number of running emulators is 9 and the number of windows in each row is 3, the display effect is as follows:

6.2.1.3 Do not adjust the window size

According to the total number of emulators running/the number of emulators displayed in each row, the total number of displayed rows can be obtained. Confirm that the arrangement will retain the original size of the window and display it on the computer screen in the form of a grid;

For example, when the total number of running emulators is 4 and the number of windows in each row is 2, the display effect is as follows:

6.2.2, Diagonal arrangement

Confirm the vertex to start the arrangement and set the offset distance between the two emulators. Confirming the arrangement will display all the running emulators on the computer screen in a diagonal manner;

For example, when the total number of running emulators is 9, the starting position (0, 0), and the offset position (50, 50), the display effect is as follows:
