Window management becomes even more important as you add screen space. WindowSizer, the tiling window manager for Microsoft Windows now allows you to create a tiled layout on each display of a multiple monitor setup. Apply arrangement commands globally or to a specific display. See release notes for a complete list of changes.
WindowSizer becomes multimon friendly

$20 for this? It’s nice and all, but $20 seems like a lot for something that performs such a simple function, also it lacks the key feature of being able to set window exclusions.
I would expect this to be more along the lines of $9 or $10, if that.
I found WindowSizer extremely useful for my work. I open up multiple Newspapers in tiled windows; compare headlines and rapidly and easily compare treatments of the same subjects in different papers. Makes preparing a spin summary on the news much easier. With the save function, I can open up different groups of Newspapers for more individual summaries. Saves a lot of time!
Is OSNews the right place for this kind of thing?
I’m just wondering if this site will become a place where people post new things they’ve written or try and sell their (or others) wares?
Shouldn’t this site be talking about what the various OS’s are up to and what cool utilities come “standard” with each one, or about cool OpenSourse stuff?
If I want to find a utility that my OS’s are lacking, there are other sites (like VersionTracker) and the like.
Sure it’s helpful, I don’t argue that, just wondering if this is the correct forum?
it actualy works this time, just select quickarange and drag the windows around:)
still i would sugest that the creator renamed the installer to winsizeins.exe or something as setup.exe dont tell me shit and makes it a pain to put it onto software collection cds (i love haveing offline backups of my utilitys, you never know when your without a connection and need to do a reinstall)…
This is cool, but not a replacement of Ion 🙂 See http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/ for cooler stuffs.

If cool Open Source stuffs are allowed, why not cool proprietary stuffs? Remember, OSNews.com is *not* a news site for open source.
as far as I understand,
OS in OSNews is for Operating System
(i.e. not for Open Source)
and this tool extends the functionality of OS,
so it suits for this site.
When there was a blurb posted here about this several weeks ago I took a look at it. Could be very handy in a variety of admin situations.
I certainly can’t fault the author for attempting to make a few bucks for his efforts, or OS News for helping their friends software along a bit.
A lot more discussion of non-FOSS software is needed here; For God’s sake it makes up 90+ percent of the entire market. http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html
I think others who are concerned with relevance of these sorts of articles (such as “Thavith (IP: —.dsl.kbs.net.au)”) may feel more comfortable if the contributing author did not have a vested interest in the success of the product?
Otherwise, it may appear (I’m not saying it is) to be advertising posing as news?
It’s not that big of deal, there is advertising splashed all over the entire network. A good chunk of it is integrated with “news”. ABCnews.com looks like a circus wagon these days, and most of the newspaper sites are jambed to the brim with advertising. Take a look at what remains of Lockergnome and some of the others. A full page of Google ads before you ever see content is rather much even for my tastes.
What OS News has going for ads, and semi-ad related content is a drop in the bucket. Be glad it’s not what others have become.
But at the moment I mainly seem to be using MDI apps, Flash Dreamweaver, Opera, Photoshop, etc. Obviously it isn’t much use when using apps like that as the document windows are contained in the main MDI window.
Isn’t this just tiled windows, something that you could do very easily for free, maybe not on Windows, but on OSS? I know Ion does it, and I’m sure you could do it with KDE/Gnome. Sad that the OS that you paid hundreds of dollers for makes you pay for features that you’d get included with a free OS, no?
I know that I have a docked gAIM buddy list on the right side of my screen, and it changes the other programs to only maxize so its filling the space on the screen without gAIM on it… on Windows…
