TopDesk 1.4.2 - Now with Vista-like Flip3D mode

A future addition to this that would be nice is if it auto disabled itself when a full screen app is running. Having this running in the background seems to screw with the keyboard when playing games - for example I just tried the Timeshift demo, and tapping a direction key would make you glide forwards for ages, and not be able to do anything else till you stopped. Quitting topdesk stopped it.

I´ve download it, but if i use it all my windows get freezed.

If I use ALT+TAB the cool Vista-effect appear. If scroll to an opend folder with ALT+TAB I cant mark anything in the folder and if I double click on another folder in the folder the folder doesn't change.

What I should doing?

Help me Please!

Amazing work, thanks you so much !

I only have one question : Well, I use a Logitech MX1000 and I was wondering if it was possible to replace the F9 bouton by the "Change Application" (bouton 6) on SetPoint of the mouse..?

I hope to be as clear as possible (sorry for my bad english).

Merci !

Slewed: The artifacts you're seeing are what happen when you fade a texture in DirectX: it's not a case of TopDesk not rendering it properly, it's just the low color resolution of todays video cards.

Viper: There's no way to automatically detect that a fullscreen DirectX application is running, but we're working on a way for users to manually specify when TopDesk should disable itself.

FuSSel: What do you mean by "my windows freeze"? When you're using the Vista view, you can't interact with windows - is this what you're trying to do?

Chazoul: Most mouse utilities let you bind a mouse button to a key. From memory, the mouse utilities included with Logitech drivers let you do this.

Windowblinds does it...

lokster: Can you explain what you mean? The trial last for 30 days, after which it won't run anymore...

Viper: AFAIK WindowBlinds doesn't detect fullscreen DirectX applications, nor does it need to. It will run fine alongside a fullscreen DirectX application though, if that's what you mean. TopDesk is in a different situation however, since it uses DirectX itself.

Possible method for detection DirectX fullscreen app:

void runningDXFullScreenApp()
  bool hasFullScreenDXApp = false;
  HWND hwnd = checkForFullScreenApp() [msn messenger can do this too]
  if(hwnd != NULL)
  {
	  HPROCESS process = GetProcessFromHwnd(hwnd);
	  hasFullScreenDXApp = checkIfDirectXDllsAreLoadedInProcess(process);
  }
  return hasFullScreenDXApp;

}
