Description

FancyZones serves as a window management tool designed to help users arrange and snap their application windows into optimized layouts, enhancing workflow efficiency and allowing for quick restoration of these layouts. This utility empowers you to specify a series of designated zones on your desktop where windows can be directed. By dragging a window into a predetermined zone or using a designated keyboard shortcut, the respective window automatically resizes and relocates to occupy that zone completely. Additionally, if you have the "Use non-primary mouse button to toggle zone activation" option activated, you can enter zone selection mode by simply clicking the secondary mouse button. When two zones are positioned next to each other, a window can be adjusted to span the combined area of both zones, effectively rounding up to the smallest rectangle that encompasses the two. As you maneuver the mouse cursor close to the shared boundary of two zones, both zones become active at the same time, giving you the flexibility to drop the window into either or both. Moreover, you can drag the window until it activates one zone and then, by pressing and holding the control key while continuing to drag, select multiple zones to expand your layout options. This feature significantly streamlines the process of organizing your desktop workspace efficiently.

Description

This application enables users to effortlessly arrange their windows on a flexible grid solely using their mouse. It enhances the utility of the right mouse button during window movement by activating grid snap mode. The program is user-friendly, portable, and easy to install, functioning harmoniously with Aerosnap while remaining unobtrusive. Users can customize the grid overlay, which supports auto-updating and adjustable input options. Compatibility extends to Windows Vista (SP2), 7 (SP1), 8, 8.1, and 10, with features that allow for saved window positions and theme personalization. However, users may experience occasional delays with the grid overlay, and the WindowGrid32.dll file might need to be placed on certain antivirus software's exclusion lists. Additionally, there can be issues when moving non-DPI-aware windows between monitors that utilize DPI scaling. WindowGrid serves as a contemporary solution for window management on Windows systems, offering a simple method to choose the initial grid position for window placement by simply moving the cursor. This functionality significantly streamlines workspace organization and enhances user productivity.
