MultiZoneShell v1.1.0

MultiZoneShell v1.1.0

Fullscreen WPF shell that splits a display into independently resizable zones. Each zone plays a website, video/stream, image slideshow, document, or any Windows .exe — configured at launch with a Netflix-style setup wizard.

What's new in v1.1.0

• Netflix-style setup wizard — on launch, pick what plays in each zone: website, video, image folder, document (PPT / PDF / any file), or application. Saved back to zones.json; re-open anytime with Ctrl+Alt+S.
• Secondary display support — "Display": 1 opens the shell on the monitor you choose.
• Photo-album Presentation mode (Ctrl+Alt+P) — auto-rotates focus across zones (spotlight / column / revolve), with idle auto-start and pause-on-interaction.
• macOS Split View — pill dividers with magnetic snapping (25% / 33% / 50% / 67% / 75%), a 4-way center handle, double-click to reset 50/50.
• Drag-to-swap tiles — double-click any tile, drag, release to swap.
• Wayland-style Column Focus (Ctrl+Alt+L).
• Native Pan & Zoom — Ctrl+Scroll focal zoom, drag-to-pan with inertia, macOS Smart Zoom.
• Cleaner chrome — keyboard-driven zoom; traffic lights, auto-hiding dock, dark mode.

Install

Unzip MultiZoneShell-win-x64.zip, run MultiZoneShell.exe (elevated), and pick your zones. Editable anytime via zones.json.

Fullscreen WPF shell that splits a display into independently resizable zones (default 2x2). Each zone runs a web page, video/stream, image slideshow, or any Windows .exe, controlled by one keyboard and mouse.
