Greetings.

I am wondering if it just me or are we all in the same boat on this one..

As a lot of you no doubt have multiple toons, as well as a few screens is there anyway to set one toon to one set screen so that each time you load up the game said toon will load up on said screen. Rather than what I have is where all my toons load up on one screen then only in game can I change which toon is on which screen. Bit of a pain to keep having to do it every single time I log in.

Also wouldn't mind having my main toon with full graphical settings where as the others set to lower quality for smoother gameplay. As when I set one account to high quality when I relog the next time they are all set for high quality.

Hopefully someone has a solution to this :)

Many thanks for your time.

That would require a combination of setting up multible monitors in windows and using fixed window on your eve client.
Once you set it to fixed window, you can choose what screen to use on what client, in the eve settings.

Unfortunatly i dont know of a way of having different graphic settings on each client, you can change them when loading a client, but when you load a new client it remembers what you just did it in the old one.
So you would have to manually adjust graphic settings for each client, on each startup, unless some kind of third party softwware can do it.

A life is best lived, to not step into your grave in a well preserved body. Instead, to slide in side ways, all battered and bruised, screamming, "Holy SH**! What a ride!"

There's actually a pretty straightforward way to do this, assuming each character is on a different account using the launcher. This includes separate graphic settings for each account as well.

From the launcher you should see a set of cogs next to each account you use:

If you select these, you can set each account to use a different profile:

To create a new profile, simply select mange profile at the bottom of that menu and you get:

If you create a new profile, and set any accounts on the 2nd screen to that (using the display adaptor setting), all the settings are remembered the next time you log in; so your alt and any other account you want will happily use your 2nd screen automatically.
