AltDesk is a desktop managing software application which allows you to create several virtual desktops where you can place different open windows and/or applications, and to clear your taskbar and main desktop area. It proves to be very useful when you need to keep many windows open and work with all of them at the same time.
The program installs a very light Desktop Manager where you can easily switch among the different desktops you are working with just by clicking on any of them. That is the main program's interface, and consists of a series of cells arranged horizontally and vertically as a grid. Every cell represents a desktop with all the little icons representing the active applications on it. You can even mouseover any of those icons to see a miniature of that window's contents, on any of the virtual desktops. You can also maximize or minimize any of those windows directly from here, which will cause a change of desktop whenever necessary. You can also use the "drag-and-drop" technique to move a specific application from one desktop to another.
You can access a configuration panel to set all the parameters and settings of the general program. Here you can adjust the number of rows and columns of the desktops grid, decide whether the program must automatically run at Windows startup or not, the interface language, the position of the buttons, or change the current skin (the program comes with four skins, but more can be downloaded). Besides, you can set names and establish hotkeys and even individual wallpapers for each virtual desktop, and many, many more options. more
