Aero Snap is a new
window management feature in Windows 7 which lets you snap or fix windows to
the edges of your computer screen.
The goal of this Aero Snap feature is to provide the user with an
effortless way to position your open windows any way you want them, with
minimum clicks and effort.
What
you do is simply drag the windows to any edge of the screen and drop it there.
It will stick or align itself to the edge.
With
Aero Snap you can drag a window and move your mouse to the edge of the screen
and the window will re-size to fill half the screen. Repeat with the other
window on the other side. With two easy motions you have a setup that makes
both of these scenarios much easier to accomplish! These are referred to as Side-by-side
windows.
With widescreen windows
becoming more common, it no longer makes sense for a window to always and only maximize
in both dimensions. Having it maximized in the height only to cover half the
screen only, also aids reading.
“With
screens increasing in resolution and widescreen layout becoming more prevalent,
the maximized window state can lose some of its appeal in certain cases. E-mail
is an example. Reading long lines of text across the screen is not ideal. Your
eye simply cannot track a line all the way across. Web browsing is another
example. Content will sometimes not fill the entire width of the screen,
leaving a lot of unused white space on the side.
Now, with Aero Snap you
can you can maximize a window in the vertical direction only. When you resize a
window to the top of the screen, it will also resize all the way to the
bottom.” Detailed read on E7.
