Dexpot Forum

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for your great software - I just came across it yesterday and it's a real life-saver. I have a few companies and having all the windows for them open on one desktop was driving me insane - now I can have a separate desktop with custom wallpaper and windows for each. Fantastic! Two questions though:

1. I have a window of Google Chrome open for each of the 4 desktops, which works great. Problem is if I restart the computer or have to close the browser to open some memory-intensive program (I have 60-70 tabs in Chrome that tape up a TON of memory). The problem is when I close the browser and then re-launch it and restore the last session, it opens all 4 windows in the same place - not separately like they were before. So to get each Chrome window where it belongs, I have to manually open each tab again in each window, and this obviously takes forever! What do I do?

2. on my main desktop, I usually have the Windows 7 Dreamscene thing, which is basically wallpapers changing every 10 sec. But when I turn on your software, it freezes. Is there a fix?

Thanks again guys!

You don't have to open each tab manually. All you have to do is move three of the four Chrome windows to their correct desktops, using e.g. "Desktop Windows" or the "Move window" hotkeys. That's still a bit of a hassle, of course. If you always have the same sites open in the individual windows, it might be possible to automate the process using window title based "desktop rules".

Dexpot only supports static wallpapers at the moment.

You rock.
