Introducing DeskTOP

Did you ever have the problem of a busy program that blocked the way to the desktop? A topmost window you were not able to minimize?

PACT DeskTOP 98 provides you with a window simulating the desktop and displaying your desktop icons. One click and you have your desktop icons accessible.

Attention, amazing behavior! To give the user more and faster control, DeskTOP behaves different on the left and right mouse button than any other program: With one click it moves on top of all other windows, And the next click sets it back, behind all other windows.

What's more, you can shift to a hidden area to place unwanted icons, move icons per pixel with Ctrl+arrow keys.

DeskTOP is an exceptional application launcher, all icons can be arranged covering the whole screen, you can select and move icons with the keyboard instead of the mouse, icon layout synchronized with the Windows desktop.

New: optional taskbar icon, tray icon, or FlyingIcon™.

One click to bring your desktop items topmost

One click activation of desktop items

Drag icons to a hidden area

Move desktop icons per arrow keys per pixel

User defined hotkey

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Here is a characteristic way to activate DeskTOP:

Since DeskTOP is always behind all other windows while not active, you can always press Alt+Shift+Tab or Alt+Shift+Esc - voila! Additionally, you can specify a user defined hotkey, or click on the taskbar, tray, or flying icon.

 

Since DeskTOP and the real desktop look quite similar, how can I differentiate between them?

- Use a background image on the Windows desktop.

- Try right clicking on the background - DeskTOP would minimize, the Windows desktop displays a context menu.

- Left-click on the background: DeskTOP jumps to the front or backward, the Windows desktop not.

- Depending on your Windows version, hovering over an icon might select it in DeskTOP but not on the Windows desktop.

 

In the previous version it was possible to set the icon text color. Is it still possible?

Yes, DeskTOP still looks for the registry key "TextColor" in HKCU\ Software\ PACT Software\ DeskTOP. This is a DWORD value, the hexadizimal data being the red, green, and blue colors in reverse order: BBGGRR. For example 800000 is a dark blue, 0000FF a shining red, and 808080 a noble silver.

You might want to try PACT DextColor 98, that sets the desktop item text color and background color, and even the background color to transparent!

 

I have created a new file on the desktop. How can I make it appear in DeskTOP?

Activate DeskTOP and press F5 or select Refresh Icon Display in the tray icon menu.
