My thought process is to allow multiple "screens" to be open at once. I would love to be able to have the stock market open so I can watch that, while simultaneously being able to watch a particular city, or being able to have more than one city open at a single time. The idea that I could watch say three or four (or really as many as I want) at the same time is much more in line with what CEO's could do, I'd expect. I would think that the number of screens you could have open would be as many different things you could open. I would of course love to be able to resize the windows as well. So for example, the optimal resolution for, say the city view might be 1024x768 but I might not need it to be that high if I'm watching a specific area of the city, so I might just need 600x600 or whatever.
Thoughts?

Re: Multiple screens open at once
I would LOVE that. My PC uses 3 27inch-displays but I guess multimonitor-capability in CapLab is out of the question. Sadly.

Re: Multiple screens open at once
That brings about another interesting idea that I have. The original idea here was to have the program, and then have windows/screens within that program. True, this would force the program to run on a single screen. There is an alternative, though. For anyone who really wanted, why not have an option to allow us to have a bunch of windows open on our computer? Then we could space it out as far and much as we wanted and simultaneously be able to interact with whatever else we're doing in the background.
For example, I don't do this much lately, but whenever I do a challenge game, I like to keep my tablet on hand or one of my other spare laptops so that I can crunch numbers and run plans outside of the game. If I could have all that running in the same monitor, that would be awesome. I have no idea how complex the original or follow up suggestion would be, but I would like to see both.
If you're playing on a smaller computer screen, you might prefer the way the interface works currently. So in your options you'd have "Default View" checked. If you want to run the screens inside the program, you might choose "Tiled" or "Windowed" view. The third option is for those of us who have multiple monitors and want to be able to interact in a more expanded method. For folks like us, there might be something like "Integrated view" which would allow us to have each of the screens as a separate window on our computer, so we could alternate between that and our various other programs at will.
