Description
Hi @Leleat,
thank you for the extension, it does a great job!
It would be nice to implement the feature I saw in FancyZones from PowerToys: "Keep windows in their zones when the screen resolution changes" (link).
I'm constantly detaching my laptop from the external monitor e.g. for using in the lab, and the windows are getting messy, so I'm putting them back to their positions.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the reported transitions between 2560x1400 and 1920x1080 with windows arranged in zones, then trace the extension's handling of resolution changes. Done means windows remain in their corresponding zones when switching between the two resolutions.
