  1. Is there a way to switch monitor contents between each other ?


    Hi,

    So my current step has 2 windows 10 PC and two monitors.

    PC-A (my old one) is connected to 2 monitors
    while PC-B (the gamer one) is only connected to monitor B

    I frequently end up taping the "switch source" button in monitor B to go from PC-A to PC-B or vice versa, i tried to find a software-solution for this but didn't find any help.

    However, am hoping for a solution for this issue :

    PC-A is connect to Monitor-A and Monitor-B, i want to know if there is a way to flip the whole content between
    Monitor-A and Monitor-B ?

    The reason am asking for this is because I frequently found the need to access a tab or a folder that is already opened but its in the monitor section that is currently showing the other pc content (if there is a trick to bring a specific content from a monitor to another, without accessing the other monitor then plz let me know)

    thank you

    EDIT:
    Found a solution

    I am currently using two softwares :

    - DisplayFusion

    The first allow me to solve this issue :

    It doesn't literally switch content from one monitor to another, but there is a function that allow you to bring every Windows from all your monitors to your currently active monitor (the one your mouse is in), which turned out to be really handy.

    and the second software is :

    - Mouse Without Border

    Which is a lighter simpler and FREE alternative of Synergy, the only downside of it is that it's Windows-Only but I am a windows-only user so i don't care *Cool

    :)

  2. Is there a way to name each individual email account?

    Yes, you can set a name for each mail account that you setup. The setting is not in a very obvious place though.

    First, open the mail account you want to name, then tap the ellipses (3 dots) at the bottom of the screen and tap settings.

    On the settings page, tap sync settings and at the top should be the area where you can enter the name for this mail account which will display on the live tile on the start screen.

    For some reason, on my phone (Lumia 920 running Cyan with 8.1 update developers preview) if I name the account Google Mail, the live tile will display "Google Mail Mail" which is a bit weird but it only seems to happen with my Google account as it doesn't
    happen with other IMAP accounts I have setup.

    Damn, profjulie replied with the same thing while I was typing my post Is there a way to switch monitor contents between each other ? :)

  3. Is there a way to name each individual email account?

    You don't need a app (official or otherwise). You just need to change the "label" for each account from

    google account, google account2, etc. to whatever you want:

    On the phone, go to Settings > email+accounts

    Tap the first Gmail account to open up its settings

    In the first line, under "Account name" input whatever you want to call it

    Tap the checkmark icon to save

    Select the next Gmail account to open up its settings

    In the first line, under "Account name" input whatever you want to call it

    and so forth and so on.....

    If you want to have a consolidated inbox of all your email accounts, go back to the home screen of the phone. Select the first email account (as if you are going to read your email). Tap the three dots in the lower right hand corner of the screen, then
    tap "linked inboxes" , choose another email account from the list provided, etc.

  4. Is there a way to switch monitor contents between each other ?

    As far as I know that can not be done with software, not the way you want to do it anyway. The monitor can only look at one input source at a time and that's a hardware function. The only way you could do it via software would be to remote desktop into PC B so its desktop can be shown on PC A's monitor.
    Or on PC A, press the Windows Logo Key *Start and the P key, and then select PC Screen only. All open windows will then move over to the monitor set as the main display.
