anyone know of a DECENT (low memory useage) Virtual Window Manager for Windows, as of now I have been loading litestep with just the vwm.dll so I can have support for multiple windows, I know there must be a lil app somewhere that does the same without me having to run an instance of LS.

this might be in the wrong place on the forum, but I know all of us desktop customizers are into a lil bit of everything so I thought I'd drop a line.

Thanks in advance

uh, litestep is an independent app. and it uses very little memory, only ~4k here with desktop.dll, popup2.dll, hotkey.dll and geekamp.dll loaded. I would stick with litestep if i were you it's the most configurable vwm, hotkey, winamp controller, popupmenu, shell, etc. there is.

Try these:

1) VERN by One Guy Coding

2) JSPager

Search for these on download.com or google. Both work very well and are actual VW *managers*, not those crappy "hot keys to switch desks" apps. Also, JSPager is incredibly easy to skin. To Save space, the newest version of BandIt will swallow JSPage into the task bar, though I didn't get it to work with VERN.

actually, that lil jspager ends up using 7meg of memory..and the other hotkeys program using 5

I am actually thinking maybe I should just make a lil neat package of litestep w/ Hotkey and VWM. I know I must not be the only one out there that loves a VWM + Hotkey support.

So if anyone out there is up for the challenge of making a nice lil package we can possible distro, drop me a private message or email.

P.S. Litestep w/ just ckVWM.dll and Hotkeys.dll loading is about ~6meg mem total so its a better deal.

This wouldnt be a Litestep project in essence, just an exe and a few dll's to load ontop of explorer to get the VWM and hotkey support :) actually got most of it done, donno how i'd make an installer n whatnot but, i figured i'd how to do it up!! :) now all i need is some decent graphics for the VWM when its showing...

Once again, give give Desktop Plus a shot. It has support for hotkeys as well as a number of ways to integrate it into the Windows shell.

    • Maybe, just maybe... and it isn't you... there are some people who like the Windows 11 UI (for whatever reason) and want a better backend.
    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
