I'm going to assume 1280x720.. which might be doable depending on what the end game is.
If you are trying to lower the game resolution to save resources, then in the Window Layout Wizard, you can set a 3D Render size. This will mean the game renders at the specified size, but you could used a Stacked Screen layout, which would then display at 1920x1080. I recommend you set the Keep Aspect Ratio to true when doing this.
If you want to render at 1920x1080 and have smaller views at 1280x720, then you can try the following other options.
Option 1 - VideoFX
You add a new game called
DXNothing. This game (it's not really) is a blank DirectX panel.
You add a new character to your character set using the DXNothing "game".
You then use
VideoFX to pull parts (or the whole view) of a game client into the DXNothing panel.
If your window layout is a Stacked Screen setup (kinda needed for DXnothing to work nicely), then you put the DXNothing panel on the top, and then just use that to view/drive from.
Now there is the odd limitation, which is written on the WIKI, which is your Source (actual games) Window needs to be pretty much the full resolution of your monitor, otherwise you get some blurry/pixilation going on.
VideoFX viewers tend to like being of the same aspect ratio of the source, so your mileage may vary here with going the 1920x540 setup, but hey it's worth a shot, but a couple of viewers at 1280x720 would work.
The overlapping of the viewers, I'm not 100% on who wins in the Z order, or whether it brings the overlapped corner on top when a given viewer is active. I haven't actually tried this out, although I know that it is probably able to be overcome if needed.
MiRai has some nice videos on VideoFX. There are some on the
VideoFX page, and they start
here on youtube.
Option 2 - Window Layout Setup
This is a little more convoluted, but a reverse of the 3D render size, and without the DXNothing or VideoFX
Create a Stacked Screen Layout, standard options so you get 2 regions at 1920x1080.
Edit the Window Layout, selecting one of the regions, right click in the black area, select Duplicate Region. This should give you Region 3.
Now select Region 3 in the drop down (if it is not already) and set the Location of Region 3 to be off your screen area. If you only have one screen then this could be -1920,0
Set the Size of Regions 1 and 2 to be 1280x720 and position as you want
Change to the Swap Groups tab
Make sure Roaming Slot = <NO SLOT>
Make sure Active Region = <NO REGION>
Make sure Reset Region = Region 3
Change to the Slots tab.
Make sure Slot1 has a home region of Region 1 and Slot 2 has a home region of Region 2.
This is pretty much what the standard window layouts do, but with specific sizing in mind.
