And here is an example of O4D with 8 docs tiled vertically using two monitors (19in + 22in):

Actually this view can be further improved if the toolbars get moved side-by-side into one line, rather than piled on top of each other.

Dang! I’m jealous… of the two enormous monitors, mainly! I use a notebook + 18” monitor, but that pales into insignificance next to a 22” and a 19” combo.

It would be interesting to hear - purely for amusement value - how many of us knowledge workers on this forum work with multiple monitors, and how many prefer just one (albeit maybe an enormous one…).

I must say I like the streamlined look of the Outline 4D screen - not a lot of furniture getting in the way, there, the buttons all look very functional. I’ve downloaded the 5-day trial (bit stingy, wot!).

Thanks for your useful blog post on Outline 4D - very interesting. A shame development appears to have stalled. But perhaps we can exert some joint pressure!

Meanwhile I am going to sit down and with renewed zeal, design the perfect authoring/info collection tool! It can be done!
