How is WindowSizer different from right-clicking the taskbar and choosing Tile Windows Vertically/Horizontally?

WindowSizer was inspired by the Tile Windows commands available by right-clicking the taskbar. However it goes much further to make tiling windows easy and powerful.

  • Automatic resizing: re-size one window in an arrangement and neighboring windows also resize to maintain the tiled layout. You can have a thin Explorer window next to a wide Photoshop window for instance.
  • Drag and drop window swapping: drag a window to the desired frame in your layout and the window positions are swapped. Sometimes you want one thing on the left and one thing on the right, not vice-versa.
  • Saving arrangements: save your common layouts as .panes files. Open a .panes file to re-launch the same applications, documents, web addresses and Explorer paths in the same layout.
  • More: Quickly tile just the windows you want. Keyboard shortcuts. Hide toolbars in Internet Explorer and Explorer. Stack windows. Set preferred layouts. Open several tiled layouts and rotate among them.
