About

FancyZones is a window manager utility for arranging and snapping windows into efficient layouts to improve the speed of your workflow and restore layouts quickly. FancyZones allows you to define a set of zone locations to be used as targets for Windows on your desktop. When you drag a window into a zone or enter the associated keyboard shortcut, the window is resized and repositioned to fill that zone. You can also trigger zone selection mode by clicking the non-primary mouse button if the "Use non-primary mouse button to toggle zone activation" setting is enabled. If two zones are adjacent, a window can be snapped to the sum of their area (rounded to the minimum rectangle that contains both). When the mouse cursor is near the common edge of two zones, both zones are activated simultaneously, allowing you to drop the window into both zones. You can drag the window until one zone is activated, then press and hold the control key while dragging the window to select multiple zones.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The UI is pretty. When you need to use the UI, which really only when you need to configure it, it works well for the most part.
  • Like the brochure says, you can control multiple pcs with one monitor, one keyboard and mouse. I normally have 4 pcs running all at the same time. One for downloading stuff. Another for gaming. 1 for business stuff. And 1 for personal stuff. Before I got Multiplicity, I would have a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse for each PC. Suffice to say, it was a mess. All the wires and connections. Pain.

Cons

  • * The thing is very unstable. It seems to have a hard time deciding when it should connect to another machine. * Often disconnects on the 2nd machine even though in the fancy UI it says it can connect. * Using the audio broadcast feature, this often disconnects too. Imagine watching a video or something and the audio just randomly cuts out. The worst of all of this is there is ZERO feedback from the tool. Which is really baffling really. Why wouldn't they have some kind of connection console, some connection log that can be displayed to see the status of the connection? It is as if they just don't care about the users, just their money. There is little to no support. On their forums people complain about the issues too and it's all "your fault". "Oh must be a problem with your network", etc.
  • The wifi connections break off every now and then. I use Multiplicity with 4 pcs. 2 mini pcs, 1 desktop and 1 laptop. 2 pcs are linked via ethernet. The other 2 wifi. Wifi needs to be relinked via the software every now and then. No big deal since the benefit of only having one monitor, one wired keyboard and one wireless mouse to share amongst 4 pcs is worth the small hassle.
