Topdesk for windows

Has anyone tried this on Win2k3 SP1? Jeff Key. This is a great util and will get added to the collection! Thanks so much for sharing this Scott! John Ritsema. Cool another util to add to my customized machine. It can go with my current setup of no taskbar and an objectdock instead. I'm going to try this out today. Wes Haggard. Downloaded the trial to check out multi-monitor support, but it doesn't seem to support it.

I couldn't find it on the list of trial restrictions. Any comments? I was going to purchase it for sure, but wanted to make sure I didn't have a compatibility issue. Mark Miller. Great tool. I've already sent out an e-mail to the rest of my company recommending that they at least give the trial version a run. Thanks for the lead.

Jose Luis Manners. That makes me wonder if you have DirectX9 or a DirectX9 driver? Scott Hanselman. Update: One of the guys from TopDesk emailed me with a solution. That there's some primo support! Downloaded the latest drivers and all is well. XP only?! Why should I have to upgrade my OS just to get swappy windows? This is an awesome little utility. Thanks for the recommendation, Scott! John Hann. Hi guys, thanks for the comments : Jeff - Great to see that that solved the problem.

Mark - The issue you're seeing may be related to the issue Jeff was seeing. TopDesk will only run on outputs that have hardware acceleration enabled, so if your second monitor has it turned off or doesn't support it, you'll only see TopDesk running on one monitor Windows XP is a lot more forgiving DirectX-wise than w2k3.

Scott - Never fear, we've got a Windows 3. James Stewart. Very snazzy - except that I don't think it's actually more efficient at navigating than Alt-Tab. At least for me. Kevin Dente. Michael Teper. Michael, you're saying it slows down all UI redraws? How do you think it does that? Windows at work. I use it so much on my Mac that I instinctively hit f9 at work and expect it to do something. I tried another Expose clone under windows, but it was so slow on my machine that it was practically a slideshow.

I use Quicksilver on my Mac too, so I have slickrun hidden but the hotkeyt is tied to window-space mimicing the command-space hotkey on my mac. April 13, Crap, this version only works on the 2 monitors attached to my primary video card.

The third monitor, attached to the PCI video card, is left dormant. Well, at least WinPlosion still works with 3 monitors.. Jeff Atwood. Jeff Atwood - TopDesk should work on any monitor that has a capable video card hooked up to it. Could you please email me the specs of your video card so I can look into issue?
