Anyone know of a way to turn off the blue ‘shadowing’ that will auto  
fit a window to a monitor?

I’m not a fan of this feature & would like to turn it off on my machine.

The auto snap features you mean? They can be quite handy once you get  
used to it 🙂

Have a look here for some different ways to mange the settings :
