Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Hotkeys and System Tray Icon
Help get zVirtualDesktop known by starring on GitHub and sharing with your friends and coworkers. I'd like to see zVD on the trending list at least once. That would be awesome!
See what I'm working on via the Trello board.

On the Trello board you can vote and comment on items while monitoring the progress of zVD.
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.
Features:

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

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.
-Double-Left-Click the system tray icon to show the settings form.
-Right-Click the system tray icon to bring up the main menu. You can donate to me in this menu since you love this app :)
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)
Desktop Names:
-Rename desktops directly in DesktopView
Move All Windows
I added a really handy feature which you can also create a hotkey for.
This feature lets you move all open windows across all desktops to the currently active desktop.
