DesktopX Suggestion: Dashboard-like "show widgets"

Saturday, November 6, 2004 by | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

In dashboard, you probably noticed that when you hit a certain key, the screen becomes darker and the widgets are shown. Now, the reason I'd want a feature like this is that I use IconX (demo) and hitting the *go to desktop* key is therefore useless (if only you could fix it). Therefore, having widgets on the desktop itself would double the problem, because the same thing happens. So just hitting, say, f8 instead of minimising all the windows would be a TON better.

Thanks

With DesktopX widgets, pressing F9 toggles the Z-order of the widgets back and forth between on Desktop and On Top. Pressing F9 toggles hiding and showing widgets altogether. You can also change it to use something other than F9 and F10.

Or are you talking about something altogether different?
