Alamode limiting screen minimization

[Mike Ault]

Since I have an LG monitor I use the last screen splitter option in this article specifically for LG monitors however it also works with the other monitor in my system.. Been using it for years and it works well, you can configure your screen splits almost any way you want them. https://www.wpxbox.com/best-software-to-split-screen-windows-10/

I like my displays unmanaged and unsplit. Like it wide open like a cluttered desk.

After one of the last updates Alamode minimized the amount you can reduce your screen. You could go a full half reduction from top to bottom and now its barely an inch down the screen. I like to have Alamode open on the bottom half of the screen with the internet open on the upper half. Thats how I type. Super easy. I realize many prefer dual monitors but I'm not into it.

Anyways Alamode tried this after an update a few years ago and after many complaints they switched it back to be able to minimize the screens for those that do it my way. If you are one of those, please call Alamode and let them know you want to be able to minimize your screen. Hopefully they will switch that back..again.

Same here, I don't like it either, I'll call Ala mode let them know, thanks for sharing!

I didn't do a recent update though. I think I have done a update once like a year ago. Sucks for you guys if it really is because of update.

It was the update on 2/2. Don't update if you don't want the change..Or call Alamode after you do and beaach like I have

I called Alamode today. The "clerk" I got didn't know much only to say she would pass it on to the software guys. I asked for a patch to be sent and she was clueless. She said if enough people complain they may clean it up with a future update...people need to call if they don't like it.

Good news. Latest update on 2/23/21: "Made improvements for minimum screen size, orientation and screen resolutions." They switched it back to as before.

For those that spoke up and called..good job, it matters! Thanks to Alamode for listening to its customers and doing something quickly. Well done.
