What exactly does "change windows" mean?

[Mr GRiM]

I just found this Desktop Switcher and I think it's exactly what you were looking for http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/modules.php

Just installed it and it works great :)

thats a excellent find thank you mr grim can i ask what you installed that work i see alot off apps that can be downloaded cheers

[Mr GRiM]

you need to download the main program which is vituawin http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtua ... up_4.2.exe (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtuawin/VirtuaWin_setup_4.2.exe) and then all those other aps are ad on modules for the program that go in the modules folder, some are pretty good, just been messing with a few of them.

I am very happy I found it because most of them are not free and this one is very usable.

ok thanx i found 1 thats called virtual dimension thats free also and i find it much more easy to use.

No worries, as long as your happy, I am really enjoying this one, it has some great features, here is a screen of my setup now with multiple desktops and wallpapers. :)

that looks great ' do you think its possible to have a different theme's for each of the desktops maybe am thinkin to far ahead l :cool:

[Mr GRiM]

lol no I don't think they would have that feature yet, I think that might be a bit heavy on resources as well running 4 different themes.

[_Deano_]

yes you are probably rite lol i dont know how to apply the different modules do you know how

[Mr GRiM]

Open the install directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\VirtuaWin\modules and place the modules in there and then double click on the icon in the system tray and in the setup window click on the modules tab and then hit reload, that will bring up any new modules you installed and also enable you to select one and then adjust the configuration, I just got the one for samurize as well so I will be gibing that a go and maybe make some nice new quick select buttons to go with it :)

[Mr GRiM]

Here is my little desktop changer I edited now highlighted in red, looks and works pretty good :)

ok what modules are yo using if you dont mind lol thats class

[Mr GRiM]

That one is VirtuSam http://niboan.dk/virtuasam.html and it is not a module but a configuration for Samurize that works with VirtuaWin, here are are all the modules and the config to run with Samurize, I included the original VirtuaSam and my version of it, I think I might pimp it u a bit more though lol

With Samurize you have to install it with XP compatibility mode or it wont let you install it and once it's installed you need to unpack VirtuSam and put the contents of the folders in these folders C:\Program Files (x86)\Samurize\Configs, C:\Program Files (x86)\Samurize\plugins and C:\Program Files (x86)\Samurize\Skins and then do a restart to complete the Samurize installation.

Once you have done a restart open the start menu and run Samurize and then in the system tray you will have the samurize icon and right click on that and check Run at Sartup and then select config file/ VirtuSam

I will do a better one for it in a bit and then I will upload that for you as well if you want to use it. :)
