winlayout Alternatives
winlayout is described as 'WinLayout is a program with keyboard hotkeys to move, resize, and snap windows all around the desktop area' and is a Window Manager in the OS & Utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to winlayout for Windows, Linux, PortableApps.com, Windows Explorer and X11. The best alternative is WindowGrid, which is free. Other great apps like winlayout are Dexpot (Free Personal), Sizer (Free), altdrag (Free, Open Source) and RBTray (Free, Open Source).
- WindowGrid is a modern window management program that allows the user to quickly and easily layout their windows on a dynamic grid. WindowGrid gives functionality to the normally useless right mouse button when moving a window. Doing this will enable the grid snap mode.
