PowerToys can do much more than FancyZones, including resizing images and bulk renaming files, so explore the other features and level up your Windows 10 desktop. Standardize the size of your images with the Microsoft Powertoys Image Resizer without worrying about losing image quality. Different layouts can be enabled for each monitor, which is ideal for users with panels of different sizes and aspect ratios. If you have multiple monitors connected to Windows 10, you must select your desired screen first and then a layout in the layout editor to activate it. Dropping a window into a numbered zone will automatically resize and lock it into position, following your spacing rules set in the layout editor. With FancyZones enabled, hold the Shift key on your keyboard as you drag an application window to see your chosen layout overlaid on your desktop. You can set a keyboard shortcut to quickly activate layouts, too, if you're planning to repeatedly rearrange your desktop in various ways. Zones can overlap in canvas mode, with more freedom for vertical and horizontal slices than in grid mode.Ĭlick the Pencil (edit) icon in the top right of any layout to customize the space around each zone and the highlight distance. To delete a zone, click and hold a resizer node and press delete on your keyboard, then press Save & apply when you're satisfied.Ĭanvas uses a simple method to add and resize zones, with the Plus (+) icon creating a new zone for the custom layout. If you choose grid, creating window positions is as straightforward as clicking in empty space to make a vertical split and dragging the resizers into your desired position. Neither is particularly complex but equally useful in their own way. In the bottom right, click Create new layout.Ĭreating custom layouts in FancyZones is possible with two methods, Grid and Canvas.Under Editor, click Launch layout editor.In PowerToys Settings, find and click FancyZones from the left-side menu.Right-click PowerToys in the system tray and click Settings.
