Aanrader, al is het alleen al om de FancyZones. De rest kan je uitzetten. Dan heb je een lightweight versie van DisplayFusion als je geen gebruik maakt van de virtuele monitoren.
Fancyzones doet mij dan weer helemaal niets. Maar powerrename en colorpicker zijn een geweldige toevoeging
FancyZones is vooral fijn, mijn mening, op een wide-screen (bv 3440x1440) monitor.
Daar gebruik ik het eigenlijk alleen maar op.
Die color picker is idd geniaal. Het maakt niet uit wat voor content er op je scherm staat. Overal meteen de juiste waardes. Een feature uit photoshop die nu global is.
Misschien moet je deze dan eens proberen: http://instant-eyedropper.com/
Dan heb je wél een vergrootglas en meer opties. Werkt met toets en/of vanuit je taakbalk.
Nou niet misschien. Dank u voor deze meneer!

De Mouse Utility, Find My Mouse vind ik met multi-screen soms heel handig.
Daarnaast is de PowerToys Run een hele handige functie als je MacOs bent gewent.
Dit was voor mij de enige reden om PT te gebruiken. Echter sinds W11 nooit meer naar omgekeken. De gecentreerde taakbalk en bijbehorende startmenu nemen dit volledig over.
