Perhaps most naturally but not the most common one, since only a view applications implemented it. Furthermore it requires good mouse skills. Which points to the next week point: accessibility. > - Change the cursor on monitor image hover To which symbol? > - Add text "Drag your monitors so that it corresponds your desktop setup" Generally I think that if you need to explain your interface inside of the interface you have very likely done something wrong. > - Drag and drop area can be made pop-up to utilize all available screen estate I cannot make an image of this. Additionally I don't see a connection between position changes (drag and drop) and duplicating (cloning) in the real world. It would be nice if you could create some paper draws or even a short storyboard of your idea.
