Yesterday I decided to rotate one of my monitors on its side to see how I like it. I quickly realized that windows would not let me snap windows to the top and bottom portions of the display, so I downloaded winsplit revolution. This worked, but it leaves an infuriating border surrounding the windows. I used another software (winexp) to check the actual sizing of the windows and found that they actually are 1440 pixels wide, but windows adds some padding to it. The solution is to manually increase the window size by 16 pixels and set it 8 pixels back, so that the "invisible" padding is off of the monitor, but of course this is not practical to do when snapping windows on a daily basis. Is anyone aware of an easy way to either remove this window padding or of a software that accounts for this padding automatically? I'm sure I could but I'm too lazy to write my own utility for this. :P

you can snap windows top and bottom by snapping them to the corners so it fills 1/4 of the screen and then extending each window to the side.

not the solution you want i know, but just saying

It helps but it's not what I'm really looking for, no.
