What is WinSplit Revolution?

What is it for? WinSplit Revolution is a small utility which allows you to easily organize your open windows by tiling, resizing and positioning them to make the best use of your desktop real estate.

What can it do? WinSplit is especially useful for high-end LCD screens with high resolutions because it helps you to efficiently manage many active windows. For example WinSplit is useful for owners of the Dell 2407FPW monitor. As you can see in the screenshots below, the advantages of using WinSplit is that it saves you from having to drag and drop windows by allowing you to snap windows into specific tiled configurations using simple keyboard hotkeys.

Use

Modern day monitors continually provide higher resolutions and for this reason I developed a simple program that permits you to "divide" your screen into several parts: halves, thirds, fourths, etc...
For instance, a window can be resized and moved to the left half, the right half, the top, a corner... of the screen.

Once the program is launched, an icon appears in the system tray:

tray


To affect a window in a zone of your desktop, by default just use the pop-up frame (virtual numpad) or hotkeys on your keyboard, which are by default: Ctrl+Alt+numpad.
The window's positioning respects the numeric keypad scheme. Typically: "Ctrl + Alt + 1" corresponds to "bottom-left".

See the help page for other compliant functions that have been achieved.

After a discussion recently held between the team members, it was decided to change the version numbering scheme used for WinSplit Revolution. The new scheme will follow the "Year.Month" style, also known as the "Ubuntu version scheme". Then the current release provided on June 2008 is a 8.06 version.
