EVE-APM Preview creates small thumbnail previews of all your EVE Online client windows, making it easy to monitor and switch between multiple characters at a glance using clicks or hotkeys. Heavily inspired by the original EVE-O Preview and related tools, with fresh new features and configuration options.
It's never going to let you input broadcast, display portions of your eve client, manipulate your eve client in any way or intentionally help you break the EVE Online EULA/TOS.
Choice! You should use whatever you prefer and suits your needs, I designed this around ease-of-setup. No need to edit configuration files when you can do it all from a configuration interface!
