I would like to locate some software that will split a Widescren Monitor into 2 desktops. Will UltraMon help ?
It is very usefult for 17" Widesreen notebooks.

Would you want to be able to maximize windows only to one half of the monitor, etc?

Wes I would like to be able to open windows to only half of the monitor on a wide screen monitor. And also be abale to swap the windows from one half/side of the monitor to the other.
I guess it is like trating the wide screen monitor as though it was like 2 monitors side by side.
So if the Wide screen was a res of 1400x900. Then I would like it to appear as 2 monitors side by side with a res of 700x900 each.
The goal is to be able to have outlook open on one side, and have say word open on the other. Or to do some web develpment on one side and then run IE on the other side to test the WEB app.
This could be taken to a different level if a PC was connected to a large LCD or plasma. It would be great to be able to plit a large display into several managable desktops that were visible all at the same time.
Hope this makes sense.
There is an economic issue too. 4 x 17" LCDs would be more costly to purchase than one large plasma that could be plit into either 4 or 6 desktops.

I'll consider this feature for UltraMon 3.
If your laptop has an Nvidia video chipset, take a look at the display gridlines feature of the nView Desktop Manager, this allows you to partition displays.

Hi,
I have an nVidia car so I played around with Gridlines. This is interesting feature.
But not really what I am seeking. I would like each area in the grid to operate as a separate desktop.
So if you came up with a product like that then I would be there.
I have been trialling Ultra Mon. It is great, much better than the nViada tools. AND it works with MaxiVista. Congratulations

Gridlines does support this, for example maximizing to only part of a display, or moving a window to a specific part of the display.
You'll need to enable support for this though, when editing gridlines, click on Options and check the features you want to use.
Once the features are activated, you can use the nView custom menu commands 'Maximize to grid' and 'Send window to' to size/move windows within the grid.

I prefer the following system patch. There are two additional maximize button on the top right cornor of each window: "maximize to left", "maximize to right". In my belief, it's not a big problem to expert programmer of windows.

BTW:How to set gridline feature of nView Desktop Manager? I am using nVidia chipset but don't find this option in nView Desktop Manager settings.

The option is on the User Interface tab, under General.
