When I split screen, all application windows are resized to fit in the -now smaller- desktop resolution.
Usually, I use split screen just for a while -e.g. read a short PDF- and afterwards I end up with resizing all the windows back to the original size (they get too small to be usable). The main reason why I want to split the screen is the ability to see email/jabber notifications in the task bar notification area.
Is there a way to disable this auto-resizing of app windows?
Second problem with screen splitting: icons on desktop are rearranged. I found this thread:
http://www.eightforums.com/customization/46473-desktop-icons-keep-moving-after-screen-resize.html
...with the solution: untick Align icons to grid in Desktop>View.
Anyway, this "solution" is quite uncomfortable - I want the system to help me arrange icons to grid (when I drag them). So I would end up every time unticking this option before screen splitting and ticking it back afterwards.
Any better solution?
Thanks
