For example, let's say you have two windows side by side, together covering the entirety of the screen. When you switch to a lower resolution using drm, the windows will automatically be repositioned and resized to cover the exact same area; the full-screen side-by-side layout will be retained regardless of resolution. In other words, drm retains the <em>centimeter-measured</em> positions and sizes of all windows, rather than the pixel-measured.</p> - <p style="clear: left;">The resizing and repositioning is instantaneous and invisible, and it applies to all windows, even those that are currently minimized.
