Got an ultrawide monitor!

<< < (2/3) > >>

ober:
The 49" feels wider than 2 27" which is basically what it's supposed to be.  I love the freedom to place windows wherever I want.

I have used power toys (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/) for a while with the 'Fancy Zones' to manage window positioning primarily because of the vertical monitor that I had before.  Windows 11 has 'better' window management even for the ultra-wide but I still wanted to customize it further so I'm still using PowerToys for that.  I have it currently split almost in 3rds but the middle one is wider than the outer 2.

Mike:
Nice

I think the way around it is to share individual windows :D

ober:
Yeah but there are times when I need to share multiple apps and it would be a pain to switch between a bunch.

Mike:
Use a laptop with the monitor plugged in and the move everything to the laptop's screen.  Easy ;)
