Do you have an organized layout for your regularly used programs on the screen? Many people do this as it increases productivity. Windows remembers each application’s window size and position on the screen, so your neatly organized layout remains intact everyday. But if your work involves regular window re-size/move, daily organizing can get tedious. That’s where Winsize2 can be of great help.
Winsize2 is a tiny utility software that you can use to define screen positions and window sizes for any application window using a single keyboard combination. This basically lets you set a fixed window size and screen co-ordinates for a application in Windows. So when you start a program its window is automatically re-sized and positioned exactly the way you want. Check out the below video to get an idea on how it works.
Winsize2 supports a number of special parameters, and ships with special features that may be interesting to advanced users. A couple of noteworthy features are:
- Ability to rename and change title of a window
- Save and restore desktop icon positions
Refer to the accompanied guide for more features and information.
