PowerToys, which was revived by Microsoft in 2019 and opened on GitHub, contains various tools that you can review on the same GitHub.
Trim and Lock is compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10 v2004 (19041) or later. The program offers two modes: Thumbnail Crop, which displays the selected area in real time, and Reparent mode, which is more interactive but may have compatibility issues with some apps.
To use these features, users can use keyboard shortcuts:
-
Little picture: Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + T
-
Come back: Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + R
Crop & Lock is a useful add-on for customizing application windows; however, there are some limitations, such as the difficulty of cropping maximized or full-screen windows, and some applications not responding well to cropping.
