Reserves defined areas on the desktop where windows cannot maximize, allowing docks, widgets, or other elements to remain visible

&

+Desktop Space ReservationReserves areas on the desktop so that windows do not cover designated zones and to accommodate widgets, docks, or other desktop tools without interference
+Screen Coordinate InputUses separate input boxes for the top, bottom, left, and right coordinates to set reserved desktop areas.
+Thickness Value SettingProvides fields where users enter numerical values to define the thickness of each reserved area
+Multiple Area ReservationAllows reservation of more than one desktop area at once based on user input
+Full-Screen Mode BlockageAllows to stop applications in full-screen mode from using the designated desktop zones.
+Taskbar Icon IndicatorDisplays an icon in the taskbar to indicate that the software is running
+No Installation RequiredOperates without an installation process, allowing immediate use from its executable file
+Auto-Launch OptionOffers the ability to configure the software to start automatically when Windows boots
+Checkbox ConfigurationProvides checkboxes to let the user decide which desktop edges to reserve
+Real-Time UpdateApplies changes to the desktop layout as soon as the user confirms the input values
+Configuration AccessOffers a control panel accessible through the taskbar for managing settings and modifications
+Separate Area ManagementManages each reserved area separately so that changes in one area do not affect the others
-Constant Coordinate ValuesOperates with coordinate values entered by the user. When the display settings change, these values remain constant, and the user must reconfigure them to match the new setup
-No Quick Release OptionThere is no built-in mechanism to disable the claimed spaces temporarily. Users must manually change the coordinate values to restore the entire desktop area for applications
-Continuous Background OperationRuns continuously after launch, using system resources even when the user is not adjusting desktop spaces
-Poor Multi-Monitor SupportApplies the same claimed-space settings to every monitor. This behavior prevents users with multiple displays from managing desktop spaces independently on each screen
-Manual Coordinate Input RequirementUsers must enter coordinate values directly to define desktop spaces. This step adds an extra process before achieving the intended desktop layout
-No Undo FeatureOnce the coordinate values are applied, there is no rollback function. Users need to re-enter values manually if they want to revert changes.
-No Conflict NotificationDoes not alert users when the claimed spaces overlap with application windows. This omission forces users to identify and resolve layout conflicts on their own
-No Application ExclusionDoes not offer an option to designate programs that are exempt from desktop space claims, which forces all open windows to follow the same rules
