Seconded.

I recently changed the resolution on my boxes to 800x600 to enable me to see the better part of all 6 boxes on a single screen at all times. Now I'm constanly right clicking in chat boxes/etc. and throwing things all out of whack.

From looking at EQUI (I think), it doesn't seem like many people are making UI's that small anymore though. Anyone here have a good low resolution UI?

I have dual monitors and it doesn't help me at all lol. I alt-tab and go to do something and nothing happens..only to realize i alt-tabbed to the 2nd screen. However...having a 32" primary monitor helps. Just stagger 3 or 4 clients and alt tab through them, or align them in the task bar in order of priority(windows 7 allows you to drag the icons around on the task bar...love it.) Usually put the primary toon first in order and my cleric last in order so i know i can just mouse down real quick at any time and switch between the 2. I've also found that most UI's DON'T work with SoF. I've tried it a dozen different ways and haven't gotten 1 to work correctly without a bunch of tweaking. Titanium seems to work flawlessly with it though.

I saw this ad for a program called ISBOXER that looked interesting.

Never tried multiboxing, but this made it look easy.

I think I saw it on the eqemu site or try a search for it on Google.

WinEq basic is free.. you dont have all the options available to you but it works great for me.

I 4-box easily with it... 4 windows over dual monitor just click to switch.
I looked at isboxer... it looks pretty cool.. but i wont pay for a boxing tool when i have one that works great for me.

The only problem i have noticed with boxing is, when you minimize a window by accident or on purpose, sometimes (or most of the time) you cant bring it back up. Anyone else notice this problem? maybe its just me and my W7

I have W7... but never seen this happen to me.
All I seen so far if the window simply closing by itself lol... like it crashed or something.

Are you using WinEq?

So i downloaded WinEQ, it is sooo much better than what i was using. Thank you whoever mentioned it.
I spent a good 2 or 3 minutes minimizing and maximizing my char windows to see if they'd be unable to open again. worked like a charm.

Is there an advantage to using a 3rd party app like WinEQ over just opening multiple windows/instances and alt+tabbing between them?

Well its "Fullscreen" in a window so you dont get that mangled text.  Also it uses EQPlayNice feature which control system resources.  You can set different profiles for each shortcut etc.

If you get the paid version you get Windows Tiling and Picture in Picture as well.

Starting multiple EQ instance is nto the same... thsi you have control on alot more stuff.  WinEQA is LavishSoftware as well. You can download it from their website.

The only thing that might not work entirely well is using a 3rd party macro software, as most of them might require focus on your window. But beside that... its nice and dandy.
