APRIL 2020 PCWorld 25templates is that it creates useful layouts right
away: three columns of text that might be well
suited for a widescreen monitor, for
example—or, alternatively, a “priority grid”
that widens the middle column.
If none of these work, you can also create
your own zones.
FancyZones allows
you to do this either
additively, by creating
zones that can be
resized; or via
subtraction, where a
number of predefined
zones can be removed
or adjusted. If you’re
looking for a way to
quickly and easily
rearrange windows for
Windows’ Snap
feature, FancyZones
definitely is worth a
look.
When we originally
wrote this story, there
was just one catch: it
only worked on a
single display. Now,
that’s changed, and
FancyZones works on
multiple monitors. It’s
still a little awkward:
there’s a toggle switch
in the FancyZones
Settings that allows the app to “follow mouse
cursor instead of focus when launching editor
in a multi screen environment”. I’d suggest
flipping that to “off,” dragging the zone
configuration screen to the appropriate
monitor, and setting up the Zones that way.You can create FancyZones from scratch, creating and resizing windows......or you can “subtract” them from existing predefined regions.
