User Center app

User Center is an app developed specifically for Yoga Book 9. In this app, you can

  • Enable options to display the window transfer assistant

  • Select wallpapers optimized for displaying across two screens
  • Set up screen brightness separately for the two screens

Periodic improvements to the User Center app may be available through online updates. When an update is downloaded, the app will display a notice and prompt you to install it. Features may be added or modified after updates are installed.

To open the app, search the app name in Windows search box and select the matched result. Alternatively, you can press the User Center hotkey (F12) on Yoga Book 9 Bluetooth KB or on the Lenovo virtual keyboard.

Enable cross-screen display

You can enable cross-screen display for viewing web pages and reading documents. When enabled, your viewing space increases with content displayed starting from the top screen and continuing into the bottom screen.

Step 1
Open the User Center app and select Dual-screen Settings.
Step 2
Tap the toggle button for Cross-screen Browsing.
Step 3
Open a web page or a document window.
Step 4
Tap on the top or bottom screen with 5 fingers.

The Web page or document window should now be displayed across the top and bottom screens. To exit cross-screen display, tap the top or bottom screen again with five fingers.

Cross-screen display is available when you use Yoga Book 9 in notebook mode and in portrait mode.

Move an app window between the two screens

When the two displays of the Yoga Book 9 are set in extension mode (the default setting), you can quickly move an app window to another screen to make room for the work that you have at hand.

Step 1
Click and drag the title bar of an app until one of the window transfer icons (transfer icon with arrow pointing down, transfer icon with arrow pointing up, transfer icon with arrow pointing right or transfer icon with arrow pointing left ) appears.
Note: If the window transfer icon does not appear, open the User Center app, select Dual-screen Settings ➙ Window Management and check the options for dragging a window with a mouse and finger.
Step 2
Drag the app window onto the icon and release it.

The app window will be sent instantly to the other screen and displayed full screen.

If you hover the app window on the icon for a few seconds, the screen layout widget appears. You can then choose a zone in a screen layout so that the app window is sent to the other screen and snaps to that particular zone.
