- OVERVIEW
- If you haven't enough space at your windows desktop JS Pager
- solves this for you. You can with this program use up to 100
- times more screen space. JS Pager creates a grid where each
- item/square of the grid correspond to a screen surface where
- windows can be placed. You can now run multiple applications
- outside the visible desktop and switch between them fast and
- easily. The program has a skinable interface which gives the
- user total control over its size and appearance. The interface
- contains a map over all desktops and windows where the user can
- move windows to any desktop with a single mouse operation. JS
- Pager can be configured to have different desktop wallpapers on
- every desktop and the user can assign hotkeys or use the mouse
- scroll feature for desktop switching.
-
- NEW IN VERSION 2.5:
- 1) JS Pager 2.5 is faster more reliable and consumes only half as
- much memory as previous versions.
- 2) Ability to show window icons in Desktop Monitor.
- 3) New "Natural skin" - Displays Desktop monitor in a resizable
- normal window.
- 4) Handles docked toolbars when dragging a window by the title
- bar in combination with Mouse Scroll.
- 5) Mouse Scroll is disabled when a mouse button is down, except
- when dragging a window. (Facilitate using a scroll bar in
- maximized windows).
-
- FIXED BUGS:
- 1) JS Pager now remembers and resets the active window in each
- desktop.
- 2) It's now possible to drag a window by the title bar to any nearby
- desktop using the Mouse Scroll without any problems, even with
- toolbars docked around the desktop.
- 2) Handles frozen windows when "Hide invisible windows from taskbar"
- is turned on.
- 3) Exception on system shut down when JS Pager was running, fixed.
- 4) The Send To Menu introduced in v2.4 caused problems on some
- systems. This feature now turns completely off when it's unchecked
- in the options window. If you had compatibility problems with v2.4
- but not with v2.3, this version will work fine for you with the
- Send To Menu turned off.
- 5) The coordinates of JS Pager is now displayed as (row,col) rather
- than (x,y). It's more correct to name the desktops as the items
- in a matrix instead of as a point in a coordinate space.
- 6) Plus some other minor bug fixes. (This version is much more stabile
- than v2.4).
-
- FEATURES:
- 1) Configurable desktop size from 1 to 100 times your visible
- desktop size.
- 2) 6 different desktop shortcut sets.
- 3) Mouse scroll between virtual desktops.
- 4) Option to activate mouse scroll with key.
- 5) Support skins, with build in skin editor.
- 6) 7 skins included.
- 7) Auto switch to active window option.
- 8) Always on top - option for desktop monitor.
- 9) Shortcut keys to move between desktops.
- 10) Send window to desktop (x,y) from the system menu in all
- windows.
- 11) Dragging of mini windows - moving windows between virtual
- desktops fast and easily.
- 12) Different wallpapers on every desktop.
- 13) Can handle windows as Corel and Photoshop roll-ups.
- 14) Sticky windows.
- 15) Sticky window classes.
- 16) Can handle frozen windows.
- 17) Setup program for install/uninstall.
- Platforms: Win95/98/NT4/2000
- FREEWARE
-
- IMPORTANT FIXED BUGS FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
- 1) In version 2.1 windows occasionally got lost. This bug was
- fixed in version 2.2.
- 2) In versions earlier than 2.3, a frozen window caused JS Pager
- to freeze. Version 2.3 and later can handle up to 16 frozen
- windows and JS Pager will never freeze itself.
- 3) Taskbar is now sticky by default.
- 4) Previous version sometimes shuffled the windows Z-order when
- "hide invisible windows from taskbar" was activated. This
- should not happen in this version.
- 5) Version 2.4 always saves your settings when JS Pager is
- terminated.
-
- INSTALLATION:
- Unzip to a temporary folder and run the setup program JSP2.exe.
-
- UNINSTALL:
- Go to Control panel/"add/remove software" and choose JS Pager
- Virtual Desktop.
-
- IMPORTANT:
- Backup the data at your desktop before using the "Icon Desktops"
- in combination with Active Desktop. Lost files have been
- reported but I havenÆt been able to reconstruct the error so I
- would appreciate to receive any information about this problem.
