# Usage
Displays can be moved around the virtual screen space by clicking and dragging
them in the preview on the left panel. By default, they will snap to one
another. Hold Shift while dragging to disable snapping. You can click and drag
with the middle mouse button to pan. Zoom in and out either with the buttons on
the top left, or by holding Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel. Fine tune your
adjustments in the right panel, then click apply.
There are some options available by clicking the menu button on the top left:
- Automatically Apply Changes: Makes it so you don't have to hit apply. Disable
this for making minor adjustments, but be careful, you may end up with an
unusable setup.
- Show Screen Contents: Shows a live preview of the screens in the left panel.
Turn off to reduce energy usage.
- Overlay Screen Names: Shows big names in the corner of all screens for easy
identification. Disable if they get in the way.
