Hi,

I just purchased the Apple 24" LED which is awesome.

The only annoying thing is that when you connect the laptop and use it in clamshell or extended desktop all of the windows are in the wrong place and the wrong sizes because they were originally set up on the MBP. Similarly, when you disconnect they are too big for the MBP screen if you made them bigger for the LED.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set up the screen arrangements and sizes independently so that when you connect and disconnect you always see the screen arranged how you would like it to be?

Best,

Aaron

Not a terribly elegant solution, but maybe 2 user profiles, one set for each configuration? Probably more hassle than it's worth..
