How to Split the Screen – SplitView

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Most of us often work on multiple applications at a time and also need to switch between applications. It becomes very tedious to keep switching between the applications.

If you have a Television or an extra monitor lying around at your home, then Extending your Desktop to LCD/Monitor/TV solves lot of your problems.

To extend the desktop you need extra device – LCD / TV / Monitor. What if you don’t have one?

Well, there is one more solution… Split the Screen or Split the Desktop into two and work with multiple applications without switching between them.

SplitView is an application which enables you to take full advantage of your widescreen or high resolution monitor by enabling you to work with multiple applications at the same time.

Once you install it, you don’t need to fiddle with windows to move or resize them to fit your desktop. Neither do you need to keep alternating between windows using Alt-Tab or the taskbar for simple tasks like copy-pasting or comparing documents. SplitView transforms a large single monitor system into a multi-monitor system enabling you to focus on your work, not on window management.

SplitView can split the screen not only in two parts, but it can split it into N equal parts.
