Oh, now I see. So by duplicating the Task-View, the gain for me as a user is that I can remove the Task-View!?
Well, that makes sense, not so much to save space, but to avoid having move the mouse between zVD and Task-View which happen to on the far opposite of my screen :-)
Let's do that and see how it turns out.

Thanks for the feedback. I like your suggestion. I'll see what I can do about adding it.

@oywino What if I make a double click or a single click of the system tray icon bring up the Task View page?
from zvirtualdesktop.
You mean - bring up the Windows Task-View page?
Just as if I had clicked the Windows Task-View icon instead?
No, that can't be what you have in mind (?)
I mean, there are only a few real issues with the Windows standard Task-View feature as is. The main issue is that it is a bit overwhelming to be seen as a snappy and quick way to jump between Desktops.
You have created an elegant way to jump using the keyboard. What I'm looking for is a way to achieve the same snappy and elegant way using only the mouse.
So, essentially a way which is significantly snappier than using the Task-View icon which is already there.
The goal is; As few clicks as possible. As short mouse movements as possible (distance-wise). As few screen changes as possible (until the actual jump takes place).
So: hovering could bring up a row of small icons labelled 1-n, and on the next click (on the desired number), the jump takes place.
If the icon row 1-n appears just above the zVD System Tray Icon with the same size, look and feel, it would be a useful alternative to the more extensive and overwhelming Windows Task-View function.

ok, I'm following what you're saying. I'll see what I can do.

I'll admit that the "Switch Desktop" takes an extra click, but this app allows me to remove the Task View button from my taskbar. This frees up valuable taskbar real estate.

You do realize there is a Windows hot key to open the task view, right? WIN+TAB
Which is a left-handed operation, but I do like the idea of opening the task view by clicking the zVD system tray icon.

I agree.... Then the objective here to evaluate if a feasible mouse-only alternative exists... :-)

@oywino You can now click to open task view!
Only in the latest pre-release

Best way I've seen so far: Mouse wheel over the task bar switches to next/previous desktop. This is even easier than right click or a keyboard shortcut.
That's the easiest way I've seen so far in the various tools I tried (virtual-desktop-enhancer.ahk had the scroll-to-switch-desktops feature). I didn't even know it had this feature until I triggered it by accident. Lucky oops!

I will add this feature, but I personally dislike it. It's probably because I never switch one desktop at a time. I always go exactly where I need to go and Desktop View is my main way of switching now because it shows me where everything is and I can click any window and bring it up.
from zvirtualdesktop.
I kind of agree. It will be interesting to test though. Using mouseover on the taskbar instead of rightclicking an icon, is a good approach that never occurred to me. Just moving the mouse to an empty part of the taskbar today, does nothing in windows default. My next idea was to use that fact to automatically bring up a horisontal row of desktop thumbs (identical to the row you get when you press Win+Tab) without affecting the rest of the screen. And then have a framed highlight that scrolls left/right with the mouse wheel. Then leftclick to select.
