New User growing pains

Thanks to all who take a look at my problem and any answers I might receive.

I went thru the setup wizard and somehow stumbled my way thru to get a working setup. Then I had a stupid idea to add a 4th monitor and another account. Nothing has been the same since.

My issues are as follows. mainly I used to be able to hover my mouse over any of the charc game windows and the keyboard would activate things in that window. Like open inventory/turn on attack what have you.
Now for some reason I have to click that window in order to give any type of commands. what did I do in my setup that is wrong?

Basically I just want to be able to run 4 accounts. and hover the mouse between the windows for commands and such. Oh and for some reason when I added the 4th monitor the game window now covers the taskbar and is leaving a gap at top of screen showing the desktop behind it.

Have a ton of other questions. But I am still reading guides and searching for those answers..The ones I listed above are the biggest stumble I have atm. Thank you again for any advice in finding a solution.

In your Window Layout you can change the "Swap Hot Character to main region" so that you can enable the "Focus follows mouse" option underneath it.

You can adjust the position of each Region in the region editor of your Window Layout (in the same area where you adjust the options in my reply above).

If you still can't get things to work, then we will need to see your profile.

Also, if you're manually adjusting your Window Layout and not using the Wizard, then that could potentially be the cause for these issues since you're new and, most likely, have little knowledge of how to properly make adjustments to an existing layout without unwanted side effects (no offense).

If I did that right should be my profile. I found the swap hot charc to main region. But the focus follows mouse is unchecked and grey'd out not sure how or what to click to activate it..

Bascially I just want 4 charc's. one on each monitor. and focus following mouse. and taskbar shown at all times. not sure why it did this..but in the window layout it shows my 4 screens. Numbered 2/4/1/3 But in window's 7 my monitors are in the correct order 1-4 not a big deal. I can work around it..thanks again for any help. I can build a house..but computers are my kryptonite. I have to do a lot of clicking before I figure things out lol.

You need to set the appropriate "Swap Hot Character to Main Region" option as MiRai said. The options you are trying to set are not compatible with the "Always.." / "Any time..." options. Select one of the options which starts with "Only when I..." or "Never".

The numbers displayed by ISBoxer are the internal display numbers (names actually because it is \\.\DISPLAYx with x being a number) and may not match the number order in which they are presented in Windows display options in the Control Panel. This information is given to ISBoxer by Windows, it is not something it makes up on it's own. You can ignore the numbering mismatch as it is not important and is just a quirk in how a display device is referenced internally within Windows vs what is presented to you via the User Interface.
