Satellite Windows

Satellite Windows allow you to keep a view of one or more feeds on display whilst the main application window is minimized or displaying another feed. You can control the appearance and behavior of each satellite window and manage all open windows via a simple Window Manager dialog.

Once a satellite window has been created (and is therefore visible within the Window Manager dialog), it will be automatically opened every time you launch EventMeister. You can of course delete a satellite window at any time, or simply hide and show the window if you want to preserve window properties and positioning.
