Going live
Your streaming app, chat and alerts on the side monitor, the game on the main one. Make the preset quiet, and nothing of ours pops up on stream.
Say it once.
It happens every time.
Stillward Display sets up your screens for every game, film and project. Tell it once how you like them: next time you open the game, your chat, your guide and your headphones jump into place. Close it, and it all goes back. Works on one monitor or three.
Coming soon to Steam - add it to your wishlist to hear the day it comes out.
For Windows 10 and 11
Every time you play: open the game, drag the chat to the second monitor, find the guide, switch to headphones, and undo it all afterwards.
Tell it once how you like it, and it does all of that for you, every time. That is a preset: a saved window layout with a trigger - “when this game opens, put my chat here, my guide there, and switch to my headphones.” When you close the game, everything goes back to how it was. A preset moves only the windows you picked for it and leaves everything else alone.
On one screen or across all of them at once - and your layout keeps its shape whatever the resolution.
Halves, thirds, or a big spot with two small ones. If none fits, the one you draw snaps into place.
Your chat, your music, a web page: it starts them and puts each one where it belongs.
To your headphones - and turn down the apps you do not want to hear. Everything that follows your default output moves with it.
So the cursor never slips onto the other monitor mid-fight.
While you play or watch a film - and back on when you are done.
Run a game in a borderless window. Older games keep their shape instead of being stretched.
The moment you close it: your windows, your sound, your resolution.
The setup window shows your monitors the way they stand on your desk. Click one, pick a layout, and choose what goes in each spot. A screen you leave empty is left alone.
Before you save, one line tells you in plain words when the preset will start and when it will end. Pick a game from your list, and that part is already filled in.
Start from the snap layouts Windows already uses. When none of them fits, draw your own: drag a line to split a space in two, and it snaps to halves, thirds and the lines you already drew, so the zones never leave gaps or overlap.
Works from the keyboard too, with undo.
A stream, a film, a laptop on the move, one screen, a window in the way. Each one is set up once, and from then on it is ready.
Your streaming app, chat and alerts on the side monitor, the game on the main one. Make the preset quiet, and nothing of ours pops up on stream.
The film fills one screen and the other monitors switch off. Close it, and they come back just as they were.
Set it up once. Unplug the laptop, and your laptop layout appears. Plug it back into the dock, and your full desk returns.
Press one key: your editor, a web page and your chat split the screen between them. Press it again, and everything goes back.
One key opens a small panel over any window: make it transparent, make it quieter, or send its sound to other speakers. Everything else stays as it was.
You do not need a second screen. Keep a “Work” and a “Play” arrangement, and switch between them with one key - your windows, your sound and even your Windows virtual desktop.
A “Work” and a “Play” arrangement, one hotkey each. Your sound switches too, and it can take you to another Windows virtual desktop.
Press it again, and everything goes back.
One key hides everything except the window you are using. Press it again to bring it all back.
Unplug it, and your laptop layout appears. Plug it back in, and your full desk returns.
You launch your game. Your chat and guide jump to the second monitor, and your headphones switch on. When you quit, everything goes back.
Your games are already there. The first screen lists what you have installed. Pick one to set it up.
It learns your habits. Arrange your screens the same way around the same game three times, and it offers to remember it, but saves nothing until you agree.
You open a project in your editor. Your notes and your browser slide into place around it. Switch to another project, and your desk switches with it.
It follows what you open - a program, a project or a website. Or start with one key: give any preset a keyboard shortcut and get going in one press.
Ready for streaming. Start from a streaming preset with your browser already in place for chat and alerts, and make it quiet so our notices and sounds stay off while you are live. Check before you go live: see whether notifications could pop up, where your sound is going and which windows are on each screen.
A guide or a map over your game. Press one key, and it appears in a corner, see-through, always on top. Press it again, and it tucks away, still running. For games in a window or borderless.
Windows stay in their zones. Turn it on in a preset, and a window knocked out of place slides back. Pin any window on top with one key.
Fix a squeezed desk without quitting. If the game's resolution shuffled your windows, one key puts them back in order.
Your 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitor may have been running at 60 Hz since a driver update, or below the resolution it can show, and Windows does not warn you. Stillward Display spots it and fixes it with one click.
It asks before keeping the change, and if the picture goes wrong, it switches back by itself after fifteen seconds. How to check your refresh rate
The things that get tools like this uninstalled, answered up front.
Every picture shows the real program. The apps and games in them are stand-ins with made-up names. Open any of them full size.
Each guide shows the Windows way first, then how to set it up once so it happens by itself.
A window manager for Windows 10 and 11, sold on Steam. You make presets: when a game, program or website opens, a preset moves the windows you chose to the monitors you chose, can start the apps that are not running, switch your audio device, keep the mouse on the game screen, switch the other monitors off or change the resolution - and puts everything back when it closes. You can also keep named desks and switch them with one key.
Yes. Desks, one-key screen splits, focus mode and the see-through panel all work on a single screen. On a laptop, your layout can switch when you plug it into a dock or unplug it.
Yes - with any ordinary desktop program. A preset can start your chat app, your streaming software or a web page, and put each one on the monitor you picked. For a browser it opens its own window, so your other tabs stay where they were.
No. It never rearranges your desk on its own. It moves the windows a preset names, when that preset starts, and a single key tidies the screen only when you press it.
It is built to stay clear of that. It never injects code into your games or other programs and never hooks their graphics, which is what usually gets tools like this flagged.
No. Nothing runs inside your game, and between changes the program simply waits.
Only while its window is open. Waiting in the tray, it counts nothing and does not show you as playing anything.
No. Windows does not let ordinary programs move the windows of apps that run as administrator, so those stay where they are - and it tells you how many, and why.
No. When a website starts a preset, it only looks at the window's title - the same text you see in the taskbar. It never reads your address bar.
No. It works with Steam closed or offline.
Everything still goes back. It writes down what it changes before changing it, and puts it all back the next time it starts.
About five minutes for the first preset. Your games are listed the moment you open it: pick one, choose where things go, and save.
Every language Steam does - thirty of them. It follows your Steam language by default, and you can change it in the window at any time.
Steam's own refund rules apply: under two hours of use and within fourteen days, you can ask Steam for your money back.
Tell it once how you like your screens, on one monitor or three, and it is ready every time.
Coming soon to Steam - add it to your wishlist to hear the day it comes out.
