Fine Grained X/Y coordinate control for monitor positions?

I've been trying to align my monitors the best I can given their different size, however dragging the monitor in small increments is proving infuriating.

Is there any way to add (or if it already exists) a way to specify X and Y coordinates? I see Ultramon allows this, so I'd imagine it's relatively easy to implement?

I must have misunderstood your request when you emailed in :)

We have an open feature request for this, so I'll add your vote to it. In the meantime, did you know that you can hold the Shift key when dragging the monitors in the Monitor Config window so that they don't snap into alignment with eachother?

I did see the tooltip to hold shift, but still I can only seem to move -7 or +7 at a time... it's not fine enough (nearest I can tell)...

This isn't even related to the EDID override I asked about, this is just another of many questions. HAH

It's weird, I can take a screenshot of a window spanned between two monitors and it's aligned perfect (digitally) in the picture, and the physical alignment is set by the monitor mount...

here's what I'm seeing

Are those two monitors different screen resolutions, or even the same resolution, but different physical sizes?

Different all around.

The left monitor is a 23" 1920x1080 ASUS turned Portrait (so 1080x1920) and the right is an ASUS 19" running 1440x900. I realize dot pitch and actual pixel density will not help us here, but I'd think I would be able to get something relatively close to a neutral alignment with stuff spanned across the monitors?

You'd be surprised at how much of a difference the screen resolution and physical monitor size can make. I run the same resolution, but different sized monitors here, and the windows look completely different when setup between the two monitors. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done to work around that :(
