k i R A complete noob on this .. sorry..
Got WinEQ today so that I could have PiP. I have attempted to set it up and failed miserably. I just can't get it to work.
All I have managed to do is get 2 tiny windows side by side. I am unable to make one of them larger. When I try they seem to go in large mode for a fraction of a second then back to small side by side windows.
I have looked at your wiki but that doesn't really explain to me what I need to do.
So... a few questions if that's ok?
1. Do I need to set up 2 profiles? One for each session?
2. Do I have to have PiP enabled on both profiles?
3. ill I be able to change the resolution of the "little" picture or is this fixed?
4. Do I have to use the global hot keys (or self assigned ones) or can Alt + Tab be used?
Is there a detailed how to guide for PiP, all i could find was the wiki and that only really explains what the settings do.
Thanks in advance

2. PIP is a per-session, as well as overall setting (the overall setting must be enabled for PIP to work at all). A profile will set the setting for a session launched with that profile. The per-session setting is whether it can be a picture window.
3. Assuming this is for EQ1, the profile setting called "PIP Scale" dictates how large the "little" picture is, in comparison to the foreground window's size. A scale of 0.2 is 20% of the size (in width/height, not in area)
4. Alt+Tab can be used if you want, but be aware that alt+tab works by moving down through the Z-Order. e.g. the window that is directly beneath the currently active window will be the next one hit by alt+tab. This means that if you're running 2 or more sessions, and you have, say, a browser open as well, alt+tab will switch from the active window to the browser, NOT to the picture window, because that would be trying to move up in the Z-Order. To move up in the Z-Order, you would use Shift+Alt+Tab instead of Alt+Tab. You can ALSO use the session cycling hotkeys, which are CTRL+ALT+X or CTRL+ALT+Z by default.
