PrinceWM 1.4.0

File-transfer quick switch

Grab a file and Alt+Tab while holding it to move it between apps without losing the drag. A quick tap flicks to your last window (tap again to go further back); hold the modifier to open the canvas, pick a target with the keyboard, and press Enter. Drop the file on the window that comes forward.
Toggle it in Settings under Layout ("Quick switch while dragging a file"), on by default.

Multi-monitor control

New "Canvas spans all monitors" toggle (Settings, Layout), on by default. Turn it off to open the canvas only on the monitor your cursor is on.
Tiles now lay out to the shape of your screen area, so on a multi-monitor canvas they spread across all displays instead of bunching into the middle. Use "Rearrange all tiles" to apply the new spread to your existing windows.

No runtime needed

The app now ships self-contained. The .NET runtime is bundled in, so it installs and launches on a clean Windows 10 or 11 machine with nothing else to install and no restart.

Download

• PrinceWMSetup.exe installs PrinceWM with a Start Menu and optional desktop shortcut.
• PrinceWM-1.4.0 is a no-install version. Extract and run PrinceWM.exe.

If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info then Run anyway. To avoid it, right-click the download, open Properties, check Unblock, then run.

PrinceWM 1.3.0

PrinceWM 1.3.0

Workspaces

• Group windows by connecting them with colored lines. Drag one tile onto another, or use the right-click menu.
• Members get a subtle tint that fades away as you tab into them, so the handoff stays seamless.
• Rename, recolor, drag, and manage a workspace straight from its label.
• Each workspace is saved to its own file, so they persist between sessions.
• If a member gets closed outside the canvas, it stays as a ghost tile and relaunches the app when you click it.

Configurable hotkeys

• The activation chord and every canvas keybind can now be rebound.
• Per-key reset and a reset all option under a new customize / Hotkeys tab in settings.
• Cleaner neutral thme.

Smoother animations

• Frame-perfect switch-in with no snap or empty edges.
• Tab-out pulls away gently instead of lurching.
• Tabbing out from the desktop now spawns the canvas centered with a soft fade-in.

Much faster tab out

• Games no longer stall or have their pause menu popped when you tab out of them.
• Animated wallpapers (Wallpaper Engine) stay smooth on the desktop instead of getting choppy. (this doesn't count for lively, it doesn't have choppy problems i believe)

Next update will include quick tabbing for file transfer.

PrinceWM v1.2.1

What's new in v1.2.1

• Switching into a window is now crisp and clean. Fixed the glitches where the switch animation could freeze, flash the previous window, or snip the old tab - including when switching into a busy app like a game or a window playing video. The hand-off into the target window is now immediate.
• Windows 10: already-open windows that used to load as permanently blank now show their preview.
• Windows 10: the desktop wallpaper backdrop now shows when "Use desktop wallpaper" is enabled.

• Perapp stacks with drill-down pages.
• Pinboard (paste images and notes) and freehand paint mode.
