MCSE MCSD MCP+I MCT Team #3 NT Workstation PACT supports • Walker's Watchguard • Citizens for Cycles • Heidelberg AKTUELL | Designed for Windows 95/98/NT. (Download all 12Ghosts 1.3 MB, 08-Dec-98) Introducing PACT DeskTOP FAQ Frequently Asked Questions E-mail Technical Support How to Order a License ### Download PACT DeskTOP 99.1b 250 KB, 26-Nov-98, Self-extracting, with Setup and Uninstall. ### Introducing PACT 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 provides you with a window simulating the desktop and displaying your desktop icons in the layout you are used to. One click and you have your desktop icons accessible! Attention, amazing behavior! To give the user more and faster control, PACT DeskTOP behaves different in certain ways: A left-click brings DeskTOP on top of all other windows, the next click sets it back, behind all other windows! To minimize DeskTOP you can right-click anywhere in the background. Additionally, you can shift to a hidden area to place unwanted icons (My Computer etc.), move icons per pixel with CTRL+arrow keys, and select if you want to keep the icon layout synchronized with the Windows desktop. • Optional taskbar button, tray icon, or FlyingIcon™. • Bring your desktop icons TOPMOST • One click activation, hover select (with newest version of comctl32.dll, version 4.72) • Drag icons to a hidden area • Move desktop icons per arrow keys per pixel • User defined hotkey ### History 99.1: Now restarts on taskbar icon switching. 98.10: Support for /s or /silent on the command line. With "/s" specified in a shortcut, no dialog is displayed, just the icon will appear in the taskbar tray. 98.10: You can now move the FlyingIcon™ per arrow keys (if it has the focus after a move, click or a doubleclick). "Look at my desktop, you'll immediately understand why I had to develop PACT DeskTOP!" Philip Ahrens ### Frequently Asked Questions When I press Alt+Tab, DeskTOP is always the last one to access? 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. 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. Can I change the icon text color? Yes, DeskTOP looks up the registry key "TextColor" under 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 SetTextColor, that changes the desktop item text color and background color, and even the background color to transparent! ### License This program is a test version for evaluation only. You can use the software for evaluation purposes without charge for a maximum of 30 days. If you use this software after the 30 day evaluation period a registration fee for a full version is required.
