Introduction

Welcome to TriPlus™ WinSpace™ Version 3.0, the first real X-Windows style virtual desktop manager for the Microsoft Windows Platform. With WinSpace, a virtual desktop can be set up with separate screens, so that you can have multiple "monitors" and easily move between them.

WinSpace represents a technological leap that gives you the first true compound desktop with no performance trade-offs, or requirements for extra Video RAM.

WinSpace 3.0 is a seamlessly compatible desktop GUI utility for the Windows™ 95 and Windows NT™ 4.0, Windows™ 98 and Windows NT™ 5.0 platforms. WinSpace does not take away any of the features in Windows. It provides additional power while working in familiar ways.

To begin using WinSpace right away go to Quick Start. For a detailed description of WinSpace and a discussion of the general functionality, go to the Overview of WinSpace.

What's New in WinSpace


Why WinSpace Is Very Cool

Before now only UNIX users had a virtual desktop. Plus, WinSpace has many improvements over the older UNIX utilities, and because WinSpace runs on Microsoft Windows with Windows, you get the visualization of UNIX and your favorite Windows applications together for the first time.

Windows users can now see and travel beyond the limits of the monitor screen. You can work effectively with many open windows at the same time. The WinSpace Map provides a top-view of all the open windows in mini-form; and the WinSpace map is a "Hot" map users can click-jump, drag or cruise to the mini-windows directly.

You can now move all over a complete giant layout of all your open windows with your monitor as a kind of central viewer.

What's New in WinSpace


Overview of WinSpace

WinSpace does not take away or replace any of the familiar features of Windows. You can still minimize and maximize windows, you can still use the Taskbar, Alt+Tab and Start button.

After you install WinSpace, the WinSpace Map will appear in the lower right corner of your screen.

The Visible Area Mini-window of your monitor screen is shown distinctly on the WinSpace Map. The WinSpace map is kind of like a checkerboard, and the monitor can move from square to square (or screen to screen) using the movement controls. You can travel and navigate your screens with your visible area as a kind of viewer. Your visible area can hop, jump or smooth scroll all around the extended desktop screens with the keyboard controls, scroll bars or single mouse clicks.

Click on The Mini-windows and you go right to the real thing. Drag a mini-window and you drag the real one. When you open a window it opens in the screen where your visible area is currently located. If you want to place windows in different screens, you can drag them into a different square, or go to that square, and then open the window.

Finding a Lost Window


The WinSpace Map

The WinSpace Map opens by default in the lower right-hand corner of your screen above the standard Windows Taskbar. It can be moved, sized, or closed just like other window. You can also toggle the WinSpace map to be "Always on Top."

The WinSpace Map shows a picture of all the virtual screens on your desktop. It gives you a picture of all the open windows in their respective squares. When you drag full-sized open windows, the position of the mini-windows representing them will also change on the map.

If you have multiple monitors running from a single PC, each monitor has a map on it.

All your open windows appear as Mini-windows in the WinSpace Map. Mini-windows represent the full-sized open windows. You can a drag mini-window with the mouse and you can click on mini-windows to activate the open windows they represent.

The visible area of your screen has a special, background-colored Mini-window on the WinSpace Map. This special mini-window represents what you can see on your monitor. You can drag the visible area mini-window with the mouse or you can use the movement controls of the Keyboard (Alt + Arrows, by default), scrollbars or mouse scrolling.

Overview of WinSpace


The Mini-Window

All your open windows, in their relative positions, in their specific screen squares, are shown as Mini-windows on the WinSpace Map. Dialog boxes are also represented as proportional mini-dialog boxes on the WinSpace Map.

If a mini-window is large enough, it will display a small icon for the corresponding open application or window which it represents. A mini-window can also display additional information about what the mini-window represents, such as a document title.

Mini-windows have a separate color from the visible area. The visible area of your screen will be your background color and the area off-screen will be black. When you place your mouse pointer on a mini-window a Tool Tip text box will appear and tell you what the mini-window represents.

You can go right to a specific application by clicking on the corresponding Mini-window on the Map. The window will appear in the foreground as you last had it positioned. You can also use  (alt + tab) to activate a window.

Overview of WinSpace


The Visible Area Mini-Window

The term "Visible Area of the Screen" refers to what you can see on your monitor. On the WinSpace Map there is a special mini-window representing the visible area of the screen. You could think of this special Mini-window as your monitor.

The special Mini-window for the visible area has the same color as your background color, by default other Mini-windows have a different color.

When you move the visible area around the squares of the map, you are touring the screens of the expanded desktop space. When you reach other windows in other squares you will see the full-size version of those windows appear and move on your monitor screen.

You can also move the Mini-window representing the visible area of the screen by dragging it with the mouse, or you can use the keyboard controls, scrollbars or mouse scrolling to move the visible area around the unlimited desktop. (See The Movement Controls)

Overview of WinSpace


The Unlimited Desktop

You can see the all the screens of the virtual desktop and all the open windows contained within the separate screens, on the WinSpace Map. The term "Virtual or Compound Desktop" means you have an available area in which to put open windows that extends far beyond the edges of the visible area of your screen.

You can travel and navigate the "separate screens" of your virtual desktop by using your visible area as a kind of viewing area, and you can zoom or teleport your visible area to all the parts of desktop with the keyboard controls, scroll bars, mouse dragging or mouse clicks. (See The Movement Controls).

You can view all your open windows in the desktop on the WinSpace Map. You can easily Hide (or close) the Map when you're not using it by clicking the close button on the Title Bar. To Show (or open) the Map again click on the WinSpace icon on the Taskbar. You can also Show and Hide the Map with the Keyboard (Alt + M, by default).

The actual number of virtual screens you have can be set in properties.

Overview of WinSpace


The Movement Controls

There are five ways to move using the WinSpace Map:

Keyboard movement:

The Keyboard has default settings and can also be customized in the Properties dialog. By default, to use the Keyboard to move the visible area of the screen, use "Alt" and the desired arrow key (Alt + ) or (Alt + ). You can set the keyboard to scroll smoothly or by increments of a whole or a half screen.

Scrollbar movement:

When you click on the scroll buttons on the Scrollbars you will move the visible area of the screen.

Mouse dragging:

You can grab and drag the Mini-windows, the visible area mini-window, and the WinSpace Map itself.

Mouse clicking or "teleporting":

You can go right to a specific window by clicking on the corresponding Mini-windowon the Map. The full-size window will appear in the foreground as you last had it positioned. When you click on a mini-window you Jump to it.

Overview of WinSpace


Starting WinSpace

To Start WinSpace:

1.	Click on the Start button on the Taskbar

2.	Click on the Programs folder in Programs

3.	Click on the TriPlus command

4.	Click on WinSpace.


Exiting WinSpace

To Exit WinSpace, right-click on the WinSpace icon on the Taskbar and select Exit.

There is a difference between the WinSpace Map which appears as a window on your screen, and the WinSpace program, which can run even when the Map has been "hidden" or "closed" and is no longer visible.

When you click the "X" close button on the Title Bar of the WinSpace Map, you Hide or close the Map, but the program WinSpace is still running and remember where your windows are.

To get the map back, click the WinSpace icon on the taskbar. You can also use the keyboard to Show and Hide the Map; the default keyboard setting is (alt + M).


Changing the way WinSpace Operates

There are two main ways to change the way WinSpace works:

·	You can change the configurations in the Properties dialog.

·	You can change the appearance of the WinSpace Map in the Pane dialog.


Grabbing or Moving a Window

In windows, you grab a window by clicking on the title bar of that window and holding down the left mouse button.

If you use WinSpace to position a window partially off screen, the title bar of that window might be off screen. You will not be able to move the window without grabbing the title bar.

To drag a window that has its title bar off-screen:

1.	Open the WinSpace Map

2.	Drag the mini-window that represents the full-sized window so the title bar shows on the monitor.

Or double-click on the mini-window and that will center the full-sized window on the screen.

As an exception, we made it possible to drag the WinSpace Map by grabbing any part of the Map.


Finding a Lost Window

If you think you have "lost" a window, you may have stranded it out on the Virtual Desktop.

To find a lost window:

1.	Open the WinSpace Map by clicking on the WinSpace icon on the Taskbar.

2.	See if you can locate the mini-window for your open window on the Map.

If you cannot open the map with the icon, or if you cannot see the icon:

5.	Click on the Start button on the Taskbar

6.	Click on the Programs folder in Programs

7.	Click on the TriPlus command

8.	Click on WinSpace.

The icon and Map should re-open. All your open windows will now appear on the Map.

Remember that minimized windows do not appear on the Map.


Getting the WinSpace Map back on Screen

If you can't get the WinSpace Map back try one of the following:

·	Click on the WinSpace icon on the bottom right corner of your screen.

·	You can also use the keyboard to get the Map (alt+m) by default.

The Map could be blocked by another window that is set to be Always on Top. Check the full-sized windows on your screen to see if they are set to be Always on Top by clicking on the icon in the upper left corner.


Getting the WinSpace Map off of the Screen

The Map is set for Always on Top by default (It will appear on top of all other windows). If you have selected the Map to be Always on Screen as well, then it will be always visible.

If you want to hide the Map:

1.	Right-click on the Map.

2.	Click on Show WinSpace Map.


Stopping the Windows on the Screen from Suddenly Moving When I Bump the Edge of the Screen with the Mouse.

WinSpace has a special mouse-scrolling feature call freescroll. When the Mouse pointer touches the edge of the monitor screen, the visible area begins scrolling across the virtual desktop, and open windows appear to move across your screen.

To turn off freescroll:

1.	Click on the Properties icon in the toolbar.

2.	Click on the Mouse tab.

3.	Click on the Click Scroll radio button.

To use click scroll, you must move the mouse pointer to an edge of the monitor screen and depress the left mouse button.
