What's new?
Using Stardock software
Stardock software includes the following features:
● Stardock MyColors—Offers a customizable desktop theme that transforms the look and feel of
your basic Windows desktop. The new desktop includes custom icons, visual styles (Start button
and taskbar), and 3 corresponding wallpapers. To change back to the standard Windows theme,
open the Stardock MyColors program and select the standard Windows theme.
●
Stardock Fences—Organizes the icons on your desktop. When the custom theme has been
applied, all of the icons on the desktop are moved to a vertical column or “fence” in the lower left
corner of the screen, with the Recycle Bin at the top. To customize Fences or to access the
software Help, select Start > All Programs > Stardock. Click Fences, and then click
Fences.lnk.
Using ATI Eyefinity Multi-Display technology
Your computer supports the new ATI Eyefinity™ technology, which provides the following features:
●
Allows you to use up to 2 external displays, as long as one of the displays is connected to the
Mini DisplayPort on the computer
●
Provides a new display configuration by spanning the image across a group of external displays
into a single large surface (SLS)
Example display configuration for single large surface (SLS)
You can use 2 external displays and span the image across them as an SLS. The 2 external displays
are connected to the computer using the Mini DisplayPort and the HDMI port.
NOTE: Identical resolution is required between external displays to form an SLS. Displays with
different native resolutions can still form an SLS by using non-native resolutions.
Switching the screen image
Press the switch screen image action key to open a dialog box that shows the 4 configuration
choices, independent of the number of connected display devices.
●
Disconnect Projector mode—Turns off the external display and displays the image only on the
computer display.
●
Duplicate mode—Clones the computer display onto an external display that is connected to the
HDMI port or the Mini DisplayPort on the computer.
