如果您家里有高分辨率LCD或 LED 屏幕，并且您没有使用任何类型的屏幕分割应用程序，那么您就是在浪费您的屏幕空间！拥有高分辨率屏幕的好处是您可以同时看到多个窗口，而不是一次只能看到一个活动程序。
当然，您始终可以使用ALT + TAB或简单地单击任务栏中的程序在程序之间切换，但很多时候您需要能够同时查看多个程序。
Microsoft的最新操作系统(operating system)Windows 10不仅内置了对多个桌面的支持，而且还为 Windows 7 中包含的 Snap 功能添加了一些不错(Windows 7)的功能(Snap)。
在本文中，我将介绍Windows 10中的新功能以及一些免费软件程序，这些程序还可以让您以不同的方式拆分屏幕(split your screen)。如果您还不熟悉，请阅读我之前关于如何在Windows 7和Windows 8中使用(Windows 8)Snap 功能(Snap feature)的帖子。
Windows 10 新快照功能
首先，让我们谈谈 Windows 10，因为它具有一些非常好的新功能，可以在同一个桌面上处理多个窗口。如您所知，您可以简单地将一个窗口拖到屏幕的最左侧或最右侧，Windows(screen and Windows)会自动调整该窗口的大小以填满屏幕的一半。
Windows 10也是如此，但现在有一个新的Snap Assist 功能(Snap Assist feature)，它还可以将另一侧的额外窗口显示为缩略图，并让您单击它们以填充屏幕的另一侧。在Windows 7和 8 中，您还必须手动将第二个窗口固定到位。
正如您在上面看到的，一旦我将Excel(Excel)拖放到屏幕右侧，其他打开的窗口就会自动显示在左侧。单击任何窗口都会将其展开以填充屏幕的整个左侧部分。
另一个新选项是 2×2 网格。如果您将一个窗口拖到屏幕的任何角落(corner)，该窗口将填满该特定角落或屏幕的 1/4。您可以使用桌面应用程序(desktop app)或通用Windows 应用程序(Windows app)填充每个角落。在Windows 10中，所有应用程序的行为都类似于桌面应用程序(desktop apps)，因此它们也可以在任何地方捕捉。
如您在上面看到的，我在右侧有两个应用程序，在左侧有一个应用程序。值得注意的是，Windows 10 的预览版(Windows 10)还(preview build)支持垂直对齐，这意味着该应用程序将在屏幕中间结束并水平穿过，但这似乎已在最终版本中删除。
借助Windows 10的新快照选项和虚拟桌面管理器(desktop manager)，大多数人将无需费心下载第三方应用程序来管理他们的窗口。
免费软件应用
您还可以使用两个免费软件应用程序将屏幕划分或拆分为多个部分，从而提高工作效率。之前我写过一个叫做SplitView的程序，它可以让你分割屏幕，但它的成本是 39 美元！当您可以免费获得更好的东西时，为什么还要付费？
WinSplit Revolution是一个非常小的实用程序，它通过倾斜、调整大小和定位它们来帮助组织所有打开的窗口，以便它们有效地利用桌面上的所有空间。
使用WinSplit Revolution，您可以快速将屏幕分成两半、三等分、四等分等。您可以调整任何窗口的大小并将其移动到屏幕的左半部分、顶部、底部、角落等。
然后使用虚拟数字键盘(number pad)或预定义的热键，您可以快速将一个窗口调至全屏或切换到另一个窗口。
该程序很好地实现并具有许多有用的功能：
- 自动处理窗口大小调整(window resizing)、移动、关闭等
- 通过全局热键和虚拟数字键盘快速访问
- 自动启动和更新
- 将窗口拖放(Drag and drop windows)到不同的部分
- 两个窗口之间的融合（垂直拆分两个程序并允许您使用中间栏调整大小）
- 马赛克模式(Mosaic mode)- 将屏幕分成九等份，并将一个窗口放入每个部分。如果您打开的窗口少于九个，它将调整马赛克的大小以使窗口更大。
GridVista是第二个允许您将Windows 桌面(Windows desktop)屏幕分割或分割成多个部分的程序。我首先提到WinSplit是因为它似乎比GridVista具有更多的功能。
您可以再次使用它将屏幕分成两半、三分之一等，就像WinSplit一样，但它没有虚拟键盘。只需(Simply)将一个窗口拖到任何部分，它就会最大化到该部分的完整大小。
然后，您可以通过单击鼠标或通过热键将任何部分最大化到全屏。因此，如果您有一台超过 20 英寸的大型显示器，那么您绝对应该查看这些程序中的任何一个。
总体而言，这两个程序在Windows XP、Vista和 7 中运行良好，因此您可以同时使用这两个程序，看看哪一个更适合您。这些免费软件应用程序的唯一缺点是它们很旧并且不再开发。例如，MaxTo 实际上已经取代了 WinSplit(WinSplit)，但我认为它不值这个钱。免费软件应用程序可以工作，但在Windows 8(Windows 8)和 10等新操作系统上没有那么有用。尽情享受吧！
Split or Divide Your Desktop Screen into Multiple Parts
If you have a high resolution LCD or LED screen at home and you are not using any kind of screen splitting application, then you are wasting your screen real estate big time! The best thing аbout having a high resolution screen iѕ that you can see multiрle windows аt the same timе, instead of just one аctive program at a time.
Of course, you can always switch between programs by using ALT + TAB or by simply clicking on the program in the taskbar, but there are many times when you need to be able to see multiple programs at the same time.
The latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows 10, not only has built-in support for multiple desktops, but it also has added a couple of nice features to the Snap feature that was included starting in Windows 7.
In this article, I’m going to write about the new features in Windows 10 and also about a couple of freeware programs that also let you split your screen in different ways. If you’re not already familiar, read my previous post on how to use the Snap feature in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Windows 10 New Snap Features
First, let’s talk about Windows 10 because it has some really nice new features for working with multiple windows on the same desktop. As you already know, you can simply drag a window to the far left or far right of the screen and Windows will automatically resize that window to fill half the screen.
The same is true for Windows 10, but now there is a new Snap Assist feature that also shows you the extra windows on the opposite side as thumbnails and lets you click on them to fill the other side of the screen. In Windows 7 & 8, you had to manually snap the second window into place too.
As you can see above, once I dragged and dropped Excel on the right side of the screen, the other open windows were automatically shown on the left side. Clicking on any of the windows will expand it to fill the entire left portion of the screen.
Another new option is the 2×2 grid. If you take a window and drag it to any corner of the screen, the window will fill up that particular corner or 1/4 of the screen. You can fill each corner with a desktop app or universal Windows app. In Windows 10, all apps act like desktop apps, so they can be snapped anywhere too.
As you can see above, I have two apps snapped on the right side and one app on the left side. It’s worth noting that the preview build of Windows 10 also supported vertical snapping, meaning the app would end halfway down the screen and go across horizontally, but that seems to have been removed in the final build.
With Windows 10’s new snap options and virtual desktop manager, most people won’t ever need to bother downloading a third-party app to manage their windows.
Freeware Apps
There are also two freeware apps you can use to divide or split your screen into multiple parts and therefore work more efficiently. Earlier I had written about a program called SplitView, which lets you split your screen, but it costs $39! Why pay when you can get something better for free?
WinSplit Revolution is a very small utility that helps to organize all your open windows by tilting, resizing and positioning them so that they efficiently use all the space on your desktop.
Using WinSplit Revolution, you can quickly split your screen into two halves, thirds, fourths, etc. You can resize any window and move it to the left half of the screen, the top, the bottom, a corner, etc.
Then using either a virtual number pad or predefined hotkeys, you can quickly bring up a window to fullscreen or switch to another window.
The program is nicely implemented and has a good number of useful features:
- Automatically handles window resizing, moving, closing, etc
- Quick access via global hotkeys and virtual numpad
- Automatic startup and update
- Drag and drop windows into different sections
- Fusion between two windows (splits two program vertically and allows you to use a middle bar to adjust the size)
- Mosaic mode – Splits the screen into nine equal parts and will place one window into each section. If you have less than nine windows open, it will adjust the size of the mosaic to make the windows larger.
GridVista is the second program that allows you to divide or split your Windows desktop screen into multiple parts. I mentioned WinSplit first because it seems to have more features than GridVista.
You can again use it to split your screen into halves, thirds, etc. just like WinSplit, but it does not have a virtual keypad. Simply drag a window into any of the sections and it will maximize to the full size of that section.
You can then maximize any of the sections to full screen either via clicking with the mouse or via hotkey. So if you have a large monitor over 20”, then you should definitely check out either of these programs.
Overall, both programs work well in Windows XP, Vista, and 7, so you can play around with both and see which one works out better for you. The only downside to these freeware apps is that they are old and not developed anymore. For example, MaxTo has actually replaced WinSplit, but I don’t think it’s worth the money. The freeware apps work, but not as useful on new operating systems like Windows 8 and 10. Enjoy!
