To adjust physical desktop size

In BlasterControl Desktop, select the Physical Desktop area setting you want.

Tip

If you select a Physical desktop area smaller (fewer pixels) than the Virtual desktop area, the display will 'extend' beyond the edges of the monitor screen.
If the Physical desktop and Virtual desktop area settings match each other, the display will 'fit' the monitor screen.

Notes

The Physical desktop options available to you depend on your monitor and display adapter.

You will not be able to change the Virtual desktop setting using BlasterControl.  Instead, click the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, and use the Desktop area/Screen area slider to change the desktop area.

To match the Physical desktop area with the Virtual desktop area, click the Factory Default button.
The system will automatically match the Physical desktop area with the Virtual desktop area.
