BetterDesktopTool - The Ultimate Desktop Enhancement Software

Are you tired of having dozens of overlapped windows on your desktop computer? Do you find it difficult to locate and select different windows efficiently? If so, BetterDesktopTool is the perfect solution for you. This powerful desktop enhancement software provides a range of features that make it much easier to manage your windows and extend your workspace.

With BetterDesktopTool, you can display all the windows on your desktop in an overview without overlapping them. This arrangement allows you to select any window easily and bring it to the front. You can also assign shortcuts for moving all windows out of the way so that you can see your desktop or show an overview of minimized, non-minimized or foreground app windows.

One of the most useful features of BetterDesktopTool is its Virtual-Desktops feature. With this feature, you can activate up to 64 virtual desktops and assign shortcuts for switching between them instantly. Each virtual desktop has the same icons layout as your main desktop but without any active windows. This means that if you are working with too many windows and cannot organize them properly, you can activate a series of fresh virtual desktops.

The best part about using BetterDesktopTool is that it enables you to move any window from one virtual-desktop to another while in grid view mode. Additionally, global-windows which appear on all Virtual-Desktops may be set up by users.

All these features are activated with freely chosen keyboard shortcuts or by moving the mouse cursor to one of the screen's corners or using mouse wheel/extra buttons; making it easy for anyone who wants more control over their workspace!

BetterDesktopTool fully supports usage across multiple screens; allowing users with multiple monitors greater flexibility when managing their workspaces.

In summary, BetterDesktopTool is a must-have software for anyone who wants more control over their workspace! Its powerful features make managing multiple applications much easier than ever before!

Review

BetterDesktopTool integrates a tool sorely lacking from Windows--the ability to instantly move, adjust, and compartmentalize desktops on your computer. While there is similar functionality in Windows 8, BetterDesktopTool makes it more intuitive and easier to manage than Microsoft's default controls--much closer to what you can do in OS X. The result is a powerful background application that can improve productivity and control, while working.

After installing BetterDesktopTool it immediately goes to your tray to run in the background. Despite this, it uses only a small amount of memory--a fraction of what your Web browser does. Open the menu and you can set hot keys for things like "show all windows," "show foreground windows," and "show desktop." These are all very useful, but the real winner in this piece of software is the virtual desktop creation option. With the tap of a button you can open a quartet of virtual desktops, allowing you to separate your work into separate screens, similar to what OS X allows on the Mac. Better yet, it is very fast, and having multiple desktops running doesn't seem to add to memory more than having those apps open on one screen.

We were extremely impressed with the speed, intuitive controls, and memory-friendly operation of BetterDesktopTool. For anyone obsessed with squeezing every ounce of productivity possible out of their PC, this is a must-have tool, and a fine example of how to enhance Windows without bogging it down with additional features.
