- **OVERVIEW**
-
- FlashScreens is a "virtual screens" manager. The program allows you to
- have a slew of programs open at one time without cluttering up your
- desktop or the taskbar. You can specify a screen for your word processing
- tasks, programming tasks, internet browsing, so on and so forth. Whatever
- window is opened in the current screen will disappear when you switch to
- another screen. Unlike in other virtual screens programs, the window
- disappears from the taskbar also! You can move windows from screen to
- screen, copy windows to other screens, and specify which windows will
- traverse all the screens. Furthermore, each screen has its own
- "QuickStart" toolbar, a handy alternative to the Start Menu where you can
- create shortcuts to your programs and launch multiple programs and
- documents with a single click. The small QuickAccess buttons provide
- shortcuts to commonly used functions such as starting the screen saver or
- clipboard viewer or temporarily hiding all open windows so you can get at
- the desktop quickly and easily. Plus much more.

- **Known Bugs**
-
- If the user changes the color of Windows 95's screen elements
- while FlashScreens is running, the icons on the QuickStart
- toolbar will not reflect any changes made to the background.
- Workaraound: after changing the colors add a button (then
- delete it) to the QuickStart toolbar to refresh the icons.
-
- When switching screens some applications may hold up FlashScreens.
- Hiding or displaying a window is contingent on that window's
- responsiveness and if a particular window is busy doing something
- else FlashScreens will not be able to continue until that Window
- responds by hiding or displaying itself. This is a property of
- Windows 95 itself and not FlashScreens.
