ABOUT MOSAIC WINDOWS
Mosaic is a grid-based portable and lightweight Windows program to arrange windows!
- Less than 1 MB file size
- Less than 4 MB memory usage
- 0% passive CPU usage
I believe that too much freedom for windows' position and size prevents efficient use of screen real-state. Mosaic divides the screen into columns and rows. Current maximum limitation is 32x32, however, 8x2 would be more than enough in most cases. This program is currently in Beta and it is only tested on Windows 10 and only for a single screen usage. Please leave your feedback at Mosaic issues page on Github.
How to activate Mosaic
There are two modes to use Mosaic which you can select by right clicking the system tray icon (to the right of Task Bar).
-
Edge Activation Mode: for flexibility
-
Grab a window title bar > move it to an edges/corner of the screen to pin it > move the pointer to the opposite direction to draw the window
-
Grab a window title bar > move it to a desired location > press right mouse button to pin > move the pointer to draw the window
-
Always Active Mode: for speed
- The anchor point alternates between the (side) edges of the screen
- Hold any of the mod keys (Alt, Ctrl, Shift) before grabbing a window to prevent Mosaic activation
Note:
- Right mouse button or Esc key will cancel Mosaic if it is activated.
- Double clicking the tray icon will disable Mosaic until it is enabled or the app is restarted
Grid Size
- Use the mouse wheel to change the grid size while Mosaic is active.
- Grid width and/or height will be adjusted depending on the edge by which Mosaic is triggered. Bear in mind that in "Always Active Mode" side edges are triggered automatically so you can't adjust the grid height independent from grid width.
Overlay Window
- Enable "Overlay Window" if constant re-sizing of the window is disturbing.
