DJ-1701 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knew if there was some software, or some setting somewhere which would give a screen a resistant edge? By this I mean requiring the mouse to move further (i.e. with more effort) to go over to the other screen, or require a key combination to allow the mouse to move over, rather than accidental knocking it over to the other monitor.
ZeroHour Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I am pretty sure DisplayFusion does this but its not free. I bought it off steam sales ages ago. Edited March 4, 2016 by ZeroHour 1

MatthewL Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Not sure if it does it but I use UltraMon to have my taskbar across both screens and use it for other bits like screensaver/desktop, might be worth a look too. 1

Thanks @MatthewL I will check that out too. Windows 10 has that feature built-in. It's called Sticky Corners. multiple monitors - How to disable sticky corners in Windows 10 - Super User Unfortunately it's not just the corners I need this on, but very good to know, thanks.
robyholmes Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Unfortunately it's not just the corners I need this on, but very good to know, thanks. Works on the side too with Windows 10. 1
DJ-1701 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 Works on the side too with Windows 10. I guess I must have it disabled then, I'll have a look when I get home, thanks.
Geoff Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 On ubuntu using unity the setting is in gconf. The keys are: /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/stop_velocity /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/overcome_pressure Suggested settings are: overcome_pressure=1 stop_velocity=20 You can reduce stop_velocity further if you want. 1
DJ-1701 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks all, in the end I used Dual Monitor Tools - DMT Cursor as suggested by @Steve21, this had the best settings for me (a sticky cursor movement between screens with adjustable resistance control) and the rotate screens function is nice too. Also had the added benefit of being FREE! I also purchased DisplayFusion suggested by @ZeroHour, because of the myriad of other functions, including multi-monitor taskbar with relevant windows and storing and switching between multiple monitor profiles. Thank you all! 2

DJ-1701 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 ^^ This Strangely it didn't work on mine, couldn't find out why, and in the article hyperlinked the user couldn't disable his. Certainly happy with the solution I got though.
