The two copies of the EVE client will now open and run independently, with their own preference settings. If you want to create additional copies, just repeat the process and use a new name (eg. EVE Online 3) for the new client copy.

==Getting your Clients to Open in Windowed Mode by Default==
If you're operating two clients at once, you'll probably be running them in windowed mode. It's not possible to make the client open in windowed mode by default using the in-game settings, rather you'll have to alter a preference file manually. It's pretty simple to do though.
*First, make sure you've opened each client at least once. This will set up their preference files correctly.
*Open a finder window and navigate to your home directory (that's the one whose icon is a little house by default).
*Navigate to 'Library', then 'Preferences', then find your EVE Online preferences folders. There should be one per client, and the following steps should be carried out in each folder.
*Open the preferences folder, then right click (or control-click) on the file named 'config' and select open with -> textedit.
*Find the section named '[macdrv]'
*Change the value for "Desktop" from "Y" to your preferred resolution.
*Save and close the file.
'''Note:''' EVE Online won't necessarily open in the precise resolution you specified. It'll open in the closest one that it supports by default. See the next section for tips on creating a custom resolution.
