ZenView1.0.2b

After many years of providing a single workspace, Windows finally brought about multiple desktops for a lot more comfort. However, third-party alternatives were around for quite a while, and can still be of help in case the default Windows feature isn’t to your liking. For instance, ZenView is a suitable example here.

Perks of portability

One of its main advantages is the lack of an installer, allowing you to take it for a spin as soon as download is done. It’s also possible to have it stored on a thumb drive to use on other computers besides your own. What’s more, runtime doesn’t put a strain on stability of the target PC, so you can use it without any worries.A default configuration helps you easily get the hang of things. A resizable window shows up on launch, split into several sections, each one representing a desktop. It stays on top of every other window, but this can be changed, and it’s even possible to assign a hotkey command to quickly toggle its visibility.

Drag windows across desktops

Window management here is quite practical. On the one hand, every desktop has its own window space. On the other hand, you can easily drag items from one desktop to the other in real time, and watch them as they glide into visual space, even keeping size intact.There are various options to configure inside the dedicated panel. A useful thing is to set up hotkey commands to quickly switch between desktops. Various other display options are at your disposal, such as unified taskbar, title, border thickness, icons, shadow, and more.

To end with

All things considered, we can state that ZenView is sure to come in handy if you feel cluttered inside a single desktop instance. No setup is required to make it work, while available options help you set the number of desktops, and even to access them through hotkeys. Window management across desktops is comfortable and intuitive.
