X-desk by Fuzzles on 04-25-2006 at 02:22 AM
Hi.
I just found a program which is very helpful, it is called X-desk. X-desk is a program that is used for changing screens very quickly. I use it for playing games in class 
. Example, ok i am playing some game then a teacher walks over, all i have to press is ctrl and any arrow. So I have work on screen 1, games on screen2. Here is screenshot. This is with the programs running. If you want this very helpful program just post and i will work out a way to give it to you, whether it be post attachment or through email or msn.
Sorry for double post afterwards i need to post other attachment.
Cheers!

Now I think I should get X-desk.
* GHOST goes to download X-desk
RE: X-desk by DJKAL on 04-25-2006 at 02:35 PM
it's cool but it could also be annoying, if you want to hide on certain applications.
eg: you have MSN, wmp, and firefox open. and for one reason or another you want to hide firefox and just use MSN you would be hiding MSN and wmp aswell.
is it possable to set t to only hide certain apps?

Seems like a good piece of software to me ...
I might download it for when I'm supposed to be doing work 
... Not that I have much left anymore 
RE: X-desk by Chris4 on 04-25-2006 at 04:17 PM
I'll try and use it at school but they are really strict so doubt it will work.
RE: X-desk by Fuzzles on 04-26-2006 at 09:21 AM
Here is the set-up, i took away some extra files to save space hope it works
I love this software helps alot at school
EDIT: GRRRR can't fit the file if you want it add me on msn

RE: X-desk by rav0 on 04-26-2006 at 11:43 AM
It looks cool, I'll definitely try it out once I fix my computer (and at school
).
RE: X-desk by Fuzzles on 04-26-2006 at 12:01 PM
lots of people at my shool use it, one class everybody was playing games as soon as the teacher starts to come over you just see 1 hand head towards the far right of the keyboard (ctrl) and 1 to the far left (arrow) It was funny
ENJOY!
PS. if you want the program sent to you just tell me
