Windows 11: New snap layouts for managing windows with maximize button
In Windows 11, Snap Layouts is a feature (part of Snap Assist) that provides a visual aid to pin windows to the screen more efficiently by hovering over the maximize button or dragging a window up. The caveat to this solution is that you can only pin windows using a predefined set of layouts, depending on the screen size and aspect ratio.
Since snap layouts are limited and cannot be edited, you need to use an alternative solution to create custom layouts for snapping windows on your computer and this is where “FancyZones” comes into play.
FancyZones is a tool in the PowerToys app that allows you to arrange windows. Unlike Snap Layouts, FancyZones allows you to create custom layouts and access more customization settings that allow you to arrange windows exactly how you want, increasing your productivity. Although you can use this tool on any display, it is especially useful for large monitors or multi-monitor setups, as you can create unique layouts for each display.
