My settings worked only some of the time, windows became transparent when they shouldn’t have, and the title-bar buttons disappeared inexplicably. These features look great on paper, but in reality Chameleon Window Manager performed very inconsistently for me. You can save your configuration or create multiple ones and switch among them.Ĭhameleon’s window-snapping layout is completely customizable. Though the buttons are primitively designed, they work. For each window, you can dedicate various title-bar buttons to performing actions such as basic snapping, monitor switching, and transparency toggling. Unfortunately, the interface is cluttered and confusing, so you could spend quite a while setting up everything. The custom title-bar buttons in Chameleon are reminiscent of a child’s drawing, but they work.Ĭhameleon Window Manager gives you a multitude of options to apply to all of your windows, to specific programs, or even to specific windows within programs. It can’t, however, open specific documents. When restoring a snapshot, Mosaico will open relevant programs if they’re closed, and will minimize others that aren’t part of the snapshot. Mosaico’s simple interface revolves around taking (and restoring) desktop snapshots. You can save eight different desktop snapshots and restore them easily from the program’s snapshot browser. Once you’re happy with the way your windows are laid out, click the snapshot button to save the arrangement. Unlike WinSplit Revolution, Mosaico has an actual program interface, and you can use it to create different desktop snapshots for various situations.
If your window management needs go beyond mere window snapping, however, the $10 Mosaico may be a better fit. For convenient window snapping, this app is your best option. That quibble aside, WinSplit Revolution is a simple yet powerful program. You can activate WinSplit Revolution’s window-dragging-to-snapping function from the keyboard. And because the numpad sits immovably at the top-left corner of the screen, it sometimes gets in the way of other windows’ options. Though the idea itself is good, I found that the numpad tended to disappear inexplicably and remain gone until I restarted the program even attempts to restore it from the program’s settings were futile.
You click the numpad to snap windows to various available positions. A virtual numpad (a small on-screen arrow pad) is available for users who don’t mind clicking, but find dragging…well, a drag.
