AquaSnap Configuration > AquaStretch

Here you can configure the AquaStretch function of AquaSnap. To access this screen, double-click on the tray icon, at the bottom-right corner of the screen, and click on AquaStretch.

AquaStretch allows you to easily fill the free space on the screen by double-clicking the edges or corners of a window. By doing so, the window will extend in the corresponding direction and try to fill the available space.
