'Gridify' Powershell module provides cmdlet that can resize and arrange applications in an automatic grid layout with predefined formats using the Processes passed as parameter
'Gridify' module provides a cmdlet 'Set-GridLayout' that can resize and arrange applications in an automatic grid layout with predefined formats using the Processes of the target applications passed as a parameter(-Process) value.
Cmdlet can automatically calculate the your screen resolution and set Applications in a neat grid layout in predefined/custom layout
Available predifined layout formats are
Mosaic : This is the default layout of the cmdlet.
Set-GridLayout -Process $Process
Vertical : Vertical Layout sets all application vertically side by side in a single row to fit the screen resolution
Set-GridLayout -Process $Process -Layout Vertical
Horizontal : Horizontal Layout sets all application horizontally one over another in a single column to fit the screen resolution
Set-GridLayout -Process $Process -Layout Horizontal
Cascade : Cascade Layout sets all application in a step like layout, such that the next one overlaping the previous one
Set-GridLayout -Process $Process -Layout Cascade
and a customizable grid layout for special requirements
Custom : A custom format can be used to set the applications in a grid-layout on the screen, by passing a custom string as a value to the parameter(-Custom).
To set applications is custom grid-layout utilize the 'Custom' parameter and pass the custom layout as comma-separated string of * (Asterisk)
Where "*" represent an application and "," separates a row in the grid-layout
So, with custom format like in the below example the grid layout would be like
Row1 has 3 applications
Row2 has 2 applications
Row3 has 1 applications
Row4 has 4 applications
Set-GridLayout -Process $Process -Custom '***,**,*,****'
This parameter also enables you to define width-ratio of applications in every row, to give the ability to customize application width sizes as per the requirement.
# to define a ratio preceede the asterix of that application with a number
# such as -custom "*2*3*" is 1:2:3
$process |Set-GridLayout -Custom "***,***,***"
$process |Set-GridLayout -Custom "*2*2**,*2*,3***"
$process |Set-GridLayout -Custom "*3*2**,*2*,3***" -Verbose
VERBOSE: Setting Processes in Custom layout
VERBOSE: Row1 application ratio is 1:3:2:1
VERBOSE: Row2 application ratio is 1:2
VERBOSE: Row3 application ratio is 3:1:1
