GUI Center Monitor

I'm curious if there is a way to lock the Gui (Health, XP, Minimap, Mana, etc) to the Center monitor? I'm using 3 monitors 5760 x 1080 and I find that it causes issues having all the gui elements off to the sides so much. I'd like the ability to have all that locked to the center monitor with the side monitors continuing to show me terrain.

While it's inconvenient to die to not seeing my health bubble easily, I'm far more concerned with the neck cramps I get from continually turning to the sides to check mana, health, etc.

Thanks for any help on this matter.

you can't do that and you're not allowed to modify the client ui to to so if it were possible.

anyway, it doesn't make much sense to me to have so much width as most of the time you run up and down anyway and to see what's coming in front of you it's better to run the game on one gaming monitor with 1920*1280 instead of 3 monitors optimized for 16:9 movies.

I'm not asking to hack the game, but rather an option IN GAME.

And as to your preference to one monitor, that's fine. Just like mine for 3 should be fine. I play more games than just POE and thus enjoy a variety of games in this resolution without issue. So the answer shouldn't be 'change your system to 1 monitor'
Do those other games have configurations to show the bars or stats only on one monitor rather than stretching across multiples?

Think of it like this.... in general with application/game development, you're given a canvas to draw on. This canvas is scaled and rendered to based on the game, etc. If you choose to make this canvas the size of 3 monitors, what you get is a stretched canvas over 3 monitors. It doesn't necessarily change WHERE items are rendered other than their relation to the canvas.

To put it a different way...if you have a bar that is bottom docked with 100% width, then what you get when going from 1024 to 1280 is that the bar resizes from being 1024 to being 1280.

So if you choose to increase that to something higher, what you get is a 100% width bar at the bottom.

Make sense?
It's not very likely to happen, i'd say it was never going to happen.
What you have when you use a 2/3 monitor setup is what amounts to a zoomhack, they will not make the game easier again for you by allowing you to move the UI to suit and they won't spend time supporting it like that as it infers an advantage over non multi monitor users.

They won't ban you for this though unlike the zoomhack
