MultiZoneShell v1.0.0

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.

Highlights

  • macOS-style Split View — pill dividers with magnetic snapping (25% / 33% / 50% / 67% / 75%), a 4-way center intersection handle, and double-click-to-reset 50/50.
  • Wayland-style Column Focus (Ctrl+Alt+L) — focus one zone full-height on the left with the rest stacked on the right.
  • Drag-to-swap tiles — double-click any tile to pick it up, drag, release to swap (works without title bars).
  • Native Pan & Zoom — Ctrl+Scroll focal zoom, drag-to-pan with inertia, macOS Smart Zoom (Ctrl+Alt+Double-click) across web / video / image / exe zones.
  • macOS traffic-light controls — red (reload), yellow (reset view), green (expand / tile menu).
  • Auto-hiding floating dock with layout presets, zoom, audio routing, and clean-wall mode.
  • Self-contained — no .NET install required on the target PC.
