Monitor Resolution and Number of Colors

Color selections are represented by a list of option buttons. The button of the selected option contains a black dot to indicate that it is enabled.

Monitor and Virtual resolution selections are in list boxes. Only one item in a list box can be selected at a time.

The available resolutions are based on the amount of memory on your Number Nine board, the number of colors you select, and the maximum monitor resolution.

Note

If you select a new color depth, you will be prompted to restart Windows for the new color depth to take effect.  If you change the monitor resolution or virtual resolution, when you click on OK, your screen will become blank for a few seconds and then return at the new resolution.

To change number of colors or monitor resolution

Before you begin save any open files.

1.	At the Colors list box, click on a Colors option button. The selected option button contains a black dot.

Note

The number of available resolutions may change as you change the number of colors.

2.	At the Monitor list box, click on a Monitor resolution. The Monitor list box contains the available resolutions. Click on a resolution. Note that as you select higher resolutions, your viewing area increases in size.

3.	At the Virtual list box select a non-virtual or virtual resolution. If you do not want to expand your virtual desk top, make sure that you click on Non Virtual.

4.	Click on Apply to save your settings and leave the HawkEye Properties open, or click on Cancel to exit the HawkEye Properties without saving your settings.

5.	When finished, click on OK to save your new settings and close the HawkEye Properties.

Notes

If you selected a change in the colors option, a message box is displayed prompting you to restart windows for the new selections to take effect. Select Restart Windows.

If you do not change the current Colors option, but you select a new monitor or virtual resolution, your screen will appear blank for a few seconds and then will return with the new resolution.  There is no need to Restart.


Virtual Resolution

Virtual, expanded, resolutions can more than double the size of your Windows desktop, irrespective of the maximum resolution of your monitor. The expanded virtual area is displayed by panning your mouse past the screen borders.For example, go to your Virtual list box, and select 1024x1536. Look now at the monitor window. Notice that there are two boxes, one turquoise blue and one navy blue. The navy blue color is the additional space provided by selecting a virtual desk top resolution. In this case, the virtual resolution of 1024x768 displays additional space vertically, rather than horizontally.

Note that not all colors and monitor resolutions support all virtual resolutions. For example, if you select 16,777,216 colors and a monitor resolution of 1152x864, then you cannot select a virtual resolution. If you select 256 colors, a monitor resolution of 1024x768, then you can select at least 3 Virtual resolutions.

There are many ways to use the expanded desktop. For example, you can display additional columns and rows in spreadsheets. Or, you can display two full-size applications, side-by-side; thereby minimizing the time spent moving between applications. The time it takes to cut and paste, for example, is greatly reduced -- from minutes to just seconds.

Note

The number of available virtual resolutions depends on the amount of memory on your Number Nine product and the active monitor resolution.

To select a virtual resolution

Before you begin, save any open files in your applications.

1.	Click on a resolution in the Virtual resolution list box. The View box shows the relative display area of each resolution. The expanded virtual display area is displayed in the View Box in dark blue. Clicking on 2048 x 768 displays the virtual area horizontally.  Clicking on 1024 x 1536, for example, displays the expanded virtual area vertically. Note that depending upon your Number Nine board, these resolutions may differ.

2.	Click on Apply to save your selections and leave the HawkEye Properties open, or click on Cancel to close the HawkEye Properties without saving your settings. If you selected a new resolution, your screen may go black for just a few seconds and then will return at the new resolution.

3.	When finished, click on OK to save your new settings and close the HawkEye Properties.

Note

When you select higher resolutions, the viewed area appears to increase in size.


Place Windows

When you use a virtual resolution pop-up message and dialog windows usually appear in the center of your expanded virtual desktop rather than in the center of your monitor, so they may not be immediately visible. Place Windows places message and dialog windows in the center of your monitor display screen.

If you selected a Hawk Key for Place Windows, then pressing the hotkey automatically moves and sizes the active application to fit your monitor display rather than your expanded virtual desktop. This ensures that all the necessary information is in view.

Using Place Windows

When you open an application on a virtual desktop, the application may be sized relative to the size of your expanded virtual desktop rather than the monitor display. Consequently, information such as scroll bars and menu ribbons may not appear on your monitor display unless you use your mouse to pan to locate them.

To size the active application to fit your monitor display when you use a virtual resolution, press the Place Windows Hawk Key you selected. If the active application is not already located on the visible portion of your expanded display when you press the Hawk Key hotkey that you selected, the active application will automatically be moved into view.


To use hotkeys with Place Windows

The Hawk Keys hotkey for Place Windows that you selected at the Hawk Key property sheet is displayed for your reference on the Place Windows property sheet. You can press that hotkey, from within any application. Your application will be sized to fit your monitor and the message box is placed in the middle of your monitor screen or your virtual screen, depending upon whether you selected Monitor or Virtual at Place Windows.

Chameleon Cursor

The chameleon is known for its ability to change its color to suit its environment. Similarly, Chameleon Cursor can change the color of your cursor to suit varying backgrounds. For example, if you are working in an application with a dark background, you may want to use a lighter color for the cursor so that you can see it more easily.

You can also use Chameleon Cursor to increase the size of your cursor to make it easier to locate.

•	To change the cursor size


To change the cursor color

The Chameleon Cursor window displays three scroll bars that control the amount of red, green and blue in the cursor color.

1.	Use the scroll bars just as you use scroll bars in your Windows applications:

Click the thumb pad and drag it up or down the scroll bar to increase or decrease the amount of that color in your cursor.	Each color bar has values up to 255. When you increase the color value, you add more of that primary color; decreasing the value lessens the amount.

By changing each or all of these color values, you can mix your primary colors to create any color. For example, to display a red cursor, set the red scroll bar to 255, then set both green and blue to 0. To display a black cursor, set all color values to 0. For a white cursor, set all color values to 255.

ColorPerfect

ColorPerfect provides easy gamma correction for perfect WYSIWYG color on your monitor. Gamma correction is a method of calibrating the output (analog) colors on your display to closely match the input (digital) colors from your computer.

Screen colors can be matched to your Pantone™ book or color printer so you can edit your work with confidence of accurate prepress results. You can even adjust your screen to work with negative images.

•	To correct colors with the Linear method

•	To correct lightness and darkness

•	To load a ColorPerfect file

•	To load a ColorPerfect file automatically


Using ColorPerfect

ColorPerfect gamma correction is easy to use. When you select Color Perfect a menu is displayed showing three graphs: in RGB: Red, Green, or Blue or CMY: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. RGB is the default. There is a significant difference between the digital colors used by computers and the analog colors your monitor displays.

When the signals reach your monitor, they are subject to environmental and mechanical variances, such as changes in contrast or brightness, the age of your monitor and ambient lighting. These factors can cause subtle shifts in the colors displayed on your screen. You may need to repeat the calibration process, if conditions change. For example:

•	You purchase a new monitor.

•	Lighting in your work area changes.

•	Brightness or contrast settings change on your monitor

•	The output on your monitor changes due to aging.

•	You install a new Number Nine graphics board.

ColorPerfect uses two methods to correct colors:

•	Curve alters the mid tones of a color

•	Linear affects the end tones

ColorPerfect also provides a Contrast menu to adjust lightness and darkness.

Note

You can instruct ColorPerfect to execute the file automatically whenever you start your computer.
