There are plenty of things you can do to make your Finder windows more efficient or more entertaining—the choice is yours. Here are a few ways that you can modify a Finder window.

X-TILE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 X-TILE(1)

NAME

       x-tile - select windows and adjust their tiling

SYNOPSIS

       x-tile [option][rows][columns]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the x-tile command.

       x-tile is a program that allows tiling selected windows as desired.

       In addition of the predefined tilings, it allows user to create up to two user defined tilings to be applied later.

       It also provides a system tray icon for faster access to tiling menu.

OPTIONS

       This program doesn't follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Instead, it uses case sen-
