Hey,

I'm currently using a Dell 2405FPW which I am comlpetely in love with. I made the move from using a 2001FP and a 17" lcd.

I love the 24" but it is somewhat of a hassle to resize windows in order to fit two browsers on the screen or any two applications. Is there any utility that would allow me to maximize screens to 50% of monitor, (ie. maximize left/maximize right). These programs are common for dual displays but I have never seen for a widescreen. This would be an awesome utility for larger widescreen monitors.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Mike
 
I do not know of a uility, but if your using Windows, you can right click on a blank portion of your task bar and click "Tile Windows Vertically" thats what I have been doing.


Hope this helps,

yeah, I've found this to work well when I have a couple of screens open. However, I tend to have about 20 open ... haha. I would love there to be a little button next to the maximize button that would do this.
 
Search google for some desktop managers. There is one that looks like the Mac OS X manager. There are so many out there for XP.
 
I've you've got an Nvidia graphics card, try enabling and editing the Nvidia Settings -> Desktop Management -> User Interface -> Edit Gridlines.

This does exactly what you want - you can setup gridlines to divide the screen up (arbitrarily - horizontally / vertically / evenly spaced or not), and there is a maximise to grid option if you add the Grid-area maximise title bar option. Works well for me! You can also send windows to different screens too (and setup keyboard shortcuts).
 
Yeah, I was going to say if you have a nvidia card the nview tools can do this....
