Clever Desktop Splitting



So you got this wonderful HD monitor or Laptop with amazingly high display resolutions, congratulations! With all that great desktop space, sooner or later you will also want to have a tool that allows you to position the Windows in a clever way at the touch of some shortcuts. At least, that's what happened to me. After a short search on the web, I found 'SplitView' - nice but not for free. But one of the great things being a coder is helping yourself: I coded a little tool called SplitDesk.

SplitDesk runs in System Tray and allows to quickly position windows on useful positions (even in a multi-monitor environment) at the touch of shortcuts (described in the readme.txt)

Requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows XP or Vista
  • .NET Framework 2.0
License:
  • SplitDesk is FREEWARE - enjoy! - and send me a postcard if you like it. ;-)
Download:
  • Click this Link to download the zip file containing the readme.txt and SplitDesk.exe.
If you are interested in the source code contact me at: h i p p o t i z e r @ g m x . n e t

UPDATE (27. April 2010): You'll also like the tool AquaSnap (which wasnt available at the time when I developed SplitDesk) http://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap

Hi,

Nice tool. I have a feature-request, however:
possibility to move the window to the next part of the screen, without resizing (e.g. not maximizing to the part of the screen)

i love it! thanks!

Move to the next monitor only puts it on my right monitor, I can never bring it back. But I don't really need that feature anyway.. just mentioning it in case you want to code that away :)

Thanks for the update. But I still love your work more. It will be perfect if it takes less memory. Are you still developing it? Thanks!
