   Managing large desktop
  I have brand new 24'' monitor so I was wondering, is there application that can split my desktop in several smaller parts where I can maximize window only in that section?   
  Something like this?   ;  Widescreen monitors are great, but I have the same problem.  I just can't use that space.  Other than movies and games, Visual Studio is the only application I use that has any real benefit (multiple panes of code with plenty of space) from widescreen.My solution would be simpler.  Just don't maximize everything, problem solved.   ;gridMove maybe?   ;Quote:Original post by ShakedownSomething like this?Not quite that, I'd like to see all my windows, altohugh this is useful.Quote:Original post by PentengridMove maybe?Too bad it isn't compatible with windows blindsQuote:Original post by UziMonkeyWidescreen monitors are great, but I have the same problem.

Just don't maximize everything, problem solved.I know, thing is that I would like to have have enforced grid so that they take up fixed piece of desktop.   ;  This is why I prefer multiple monitors.   ;  yes, but two 24" monitors would just enchance the "problem"... not that I've even found it a problem myself...   ;  I'm with UziMonkey on this one. I really loathe the philosophy that built up in the Win9x era that everything has to be maximized. Apple really got this right, which is part of why Mac users love Expose so much, and why Windows users don't get it and therefore hate OS X because it has piss-poor support for juggling a half-dozen maximized windows.The correct solution is, indeed, to retrain yourself to use non-maximized windows as much as possible. That's what windowing engines were originally meant to do.You'll find, if you're like me, that once you get over the retraining stresses (which only takes a few days really), you'll be more effective with non-maximized windows, since you can tailor each app's window positioning and sizing to your needs. You also never lose the ability to work with maximized windows either, so that's no concern.   ;  Indeed, about the only apps I have fullscreened now are ones where I want the screen space to be used (so VS, Outlook, IRC client) everything else tends to exist as a smaller window which can be shifted about with ease.   ;  I have dual monitors, and I dont run ANYTHING fullscreen anymore. I just cant get enough screen space, by the time you have VS, a web browser and MSN open, your still juggling space for Explorer windows etc. I need a third monitor!I even play most games in windowed mode, such as sim city, football manager and Ghost recon. The only game I play fullscreen is Flight Simulator, its so much better spread across two monitors :D
