TopDesk will give you an overview of all open windows, including minimized windows. With a single key press, you can view thumbnails of all open windows, display windows belonging to the current application, or hide all windows to quickly access the desktop.
Pressing the F9 immediately scales down all your windows, including your minimized windows, and tiles them all on-screen in an easy to navigate layout. Window scaling is animated in real-time - a trick that'll really impress your shipmates.
Choosing a window to switch to is simple - just move the mouse over the window you want to select, or navigate to it using the Arrow or Tab keys. Once you've chosen your window, a single keystroke or mouse press zooms all of the windows back to full size and makes the window you selected the active window.
Pressing the F10 key immediately tiles all windows of the current application, be it Word, Outlook, or plain old Internet Explorer, while hiding every other window. With all those distractions gone, finding the document you need is simply a matter of point and click.
Pressing the F11 key will clear your screen of windows in an instant, and another press calls them right back. Want to check out that document you just downloaded to the desktop, quickly drag and drop a file from the desktop into an application, or get rid of that Solitaire window before the boss walks past? With TopDesk, it's a breeze.
