Hi there,

I've absolutely have fallen in love with the Acer Display Widget app on my Windows operating system and wish to expand it's use to my Mac laptops when using my Acer monitor as a second display.

My first guess is that Display Widget for Mac isn't a thing but I thought I'd ask the experts! Thanks in advance and take care eh!

    Might work with WINE Windows overlay. Download MAC version and Install it if not already installed on your MACs at this link.. Then try to install the Widget under the WINE overlay. Works well on my Unix/Linux based setups with my favorite Windows apps.

    Likely won't work even with Wine, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Wine does tricks with the HAL, so IO specific stuff often doesn't work the same.
