Installation
This program uses IsolatedStorage for the settings file so in order for each new version to read the same settings file it is important that the program be unzipped and run from the same location everytime.

It's preferable to run directly from the Startup folder

You can get to the Startup folder by typing Startup into the address bar of any Windows Explorer window. Simply copy the file into that folder.

Supported Versions
I'm currently running this app perfectly on version:
Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.953)

If the app doesn't work for you then I would first try getting Windows Updates and if that doesn't work then please open an issue with your version.

To find your version simply press WIN+R then type WinVer into the box and hit enter.

Features:

Hotkeys:

These are the default hotkeys. You can configure these any way you'd like.

Navigate Desktops:
WIN+CTRL+Numpad
WIN+CTRL+LEFT or RIGHT - this is Windows Default

Move Windows:
WIN+ALT+Numpad
WIN+ALT+LEFT or RIGHT

Move Window & Follow:
WIN+CTRL+ALT+Numpad
WIN+CTRL+ALT+LEFT or RIGHT

Pin/Unpin Windows:
WIN+ALT+Z

Pin/Unpin Applications:
WIN+ALT+A

What is the difference between pin app and pin window?
An easy way to imagine this is if you use pin window on a chrome browser window, only that window will be visible on all desktops. Any other chrome windows would stay on a single desktop. If you were to pin application on a chrome window then all chrome windows would show up on all desktops. This includes new chrome windows.

System Tray Icon:
-Choose from several sets of icons
-The icons indicate which desktop you are viewing
-Left-Click the system tray icon to bring up the default Task View overlay.

Make your own icons and attach them to an issue then I will add them to the program.
How to submit icon files

Download the current icons and alter ones you like. I ask that you come up with a name for your icon theme.
Icons.zip

Wallpapers:
-Set a different wallpaper for each desktop
-Specify the style for each (Center, Stretch, or Tile)
