Default Multitabling on 1280x1024 monitor

I've been playing on Party for a while now and would like to start multitabling. Do most of you multitablers use higher resolution monitors/dual monitors?

I wish I could resize the tables, but apparently this is not possible. Do most of you just live with overlapping windows? Any hints to make playing more than one table more pleasant on lower resolution monitors?

I have a 1600x1200 monitor, which is a must if you're going to play more than two tables, in my opinion.

When I use my notebook, I two-table at 800x600 which is okay. You get corner overlap, but that's no big deal.

You'd probably find it cheaper to get a new monitor than do a multi-monitor setup.

Regards,

It's not so bad....I 4-table on one. Ideally the higher res is better, but sometimes you just got to make do with what you got.

I also 4-table on a 1280x1024 lcd. It's not bad at all. Download the MS Powertoys for XP and turn on automatic window activation (when the mouse moves over the window), that will make life a LOT easier.

I've 5-tabled occasionally. That does get a little nutty.

You must've meant 1024x768 or 1200x800 or alike since you can fit exactly one table in 800x600.

Heh, yeah, sorry about that. I meant 1024x768.

I've spent quite a bit of time 4 tabling on a 1280x monitor. The overlap kinda sucks, but I didn't find it to be a huge problem as I only ever focus on one table at a time anyway. Just keep clicking around, bringing up the table you want to watch and make sure you don't click anywhere where you might accidentally hit any of the action buttons.

1600x1200 is the way to go. The overlap can be annoying.

Same thing. 5table is really tough, but I'm used to 4 tabling now.
