screens in client software

My question is regarding screens in the client software. I'm running on a laptop with an external monitor attached and configured as an extended desktop. The client software puts the CIU (?) on the first monitor and on the second I can, of course, display live, or playback status..whatever. On the 1st screen however, the top half is blank. I would love to know how to fill the top half of the 1st screen with, say, the playback status so that I could see an abbreviated cue list and leave the 2nd screen to show the live channel data. During rehearsals these are the 2 things I need to constantly monitor. I looked around in the documentation but couldn't find the info. Please help

Don't know if this helps, but from the keyboard connected to my RVI I can use the FKeys to manipulate the displays. Try playing with the F keys and tab to see if you can move the cuelist into an appropriate place for you. I know off the top of my head the following commands:

F2: Live
F4: Format
F5: Hides the CIA
Tab: moves displays around

You can also download the following PDF for keyboard shortcuts:

Hope that helps.

Good question. Since holding TAB and pressing ARROW is how you move around the screens, and I guess you cant' do that on a computer....hmmmm... It's much like trying to unload a cue list in offline....how do you do that? Anne? Guys?

Holding down [tab] and pressing the [left arrow] or [right arrow] key will move that tab to the other monitor, just as it does when using those keys on the console. You will need scroll lock on though. When you exit Eos, this configuration will be saved, so you only have to do it once.
In 1.3 you will be able to unload a cuelist in offline. Unfortunately I can't think of a way to do it in 1.2 offline.

I'll give those things a try. As I'm using the client software at this time only as a designer's remote, I'm not interested in using screen real estate to see the CIA. Would be nice if I could size / close the windows as well. All I want is Playback status display on one monitor, and Live Channel display on another.
Cheers.

F5 will open and close the CIA. If it's closed then you have the whole screen available.
