Below are the default hotkeys for virtual desktops. You can configure these any way you'd like.
__Navigate Desktops:__
WIN+CTRL+Numpad
WIN+CTRL+NumberKeys
WIN+CTRL+LEFT or RIGHT - this is Windows Default and can be overridden to allow "Round Robin"
__Move Windows:__
The foreground window will be the window which moves
WIN+ALT+Numpad
WIN+ALT+NumberKeys
WIN+ALT+LEFT or RIGHT
__Move Window & Follow:__
The foreground window will be the window which moves
WIN+CTRL+ALT+Numpad
WIN+CTRL+ALT+NumberKeys
WIN+CTRL+ALT+LEFT or RIGHT
__Pin/Unpin Windows:__
The foreground window will be the window which is pinned
WIN+ALT+Z
__Pin/Unpin Applications:__
The foreground window will be the window which is pinned
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 display or hide DesktopView.
- `Right-Click` the system tray icon to bring up the main menu.
Make your own icons and attach them to an issue then I will add them to the program.
[How to submit icon files](https://github.com/mzomparelli/zVirtualDesktop/issues/23)
Download the current icons and alter ones you like. I ask that you come up with a name for your icon theme.

# Wallpapers
- Set a different wallpaper for each desktop
- Specify the style for each (Center, Stretch, or Tile)
# Desktop Names
- Rename desktops directly in DesktopView or in the settings window
