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.

    • Garmin Dash Cam X310: 4K dash cam on sale at lowest price for $334.99 by Paul Hill Dash cam footage can be vital for drivers who get into accidents as it can be used to help with insurance claims if you’re involved in an accident, outside of that, it can be used for filming your trips or recording freak events such as asteroids burning up in the atmosphere. If you’re still without one, or looking to upgrade, take a moment to read about the Garmin Dash Cam X310 which has been reduced by 16% from $399.99 to $334.99. To briefly touch on the features before we get started, the X310 is a compact 4K Ultra HD touchscreen dash cam with a 140-degree field of view, ensuring it captures everything. There’s also a built-in Clarity Polarizer to reduce glare from the windshield and it features automatic recording. The main attraction of the Garmin Dash Cam X310 is undoubtedly the 4K Ultra HD video which will capture fine details, and the 140-degree field of view that ensures it doesn’t miss anything important. Coupled with this, the Clarity Polarizer helps to reduce glare from the windshield so that your video footage is better. It also includes HDR which improves the night vision. Aside from having a touchscreen, the X310 comes with voice control allowing you to save video and audio hands-free, meaning you can focus on driving. It supports multiple languages - English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish. Other features include built-in GPS for recording the location, date, and time of incidents; parking guard and live view for security while parked (required a paid Vault subscription); and its compact design which allows it to sit “virtually unnoticed” on the windshield. Please note that the product description says some jurisdictions may restrict the use of dashcams, so check your local laws before buying. If you are looking for a high-resolution dash cam with voice control and advanced parking surveillance (paid subscription), the X310 could be for you. The main downside of this product is that it’s still at a premium price point, despite it being at its lowest price on Amazon. If you don’t mind this, it could definitely be a great choice for you.

    • I have a Motorola B12, and it's been working pretty solidly for a year now. 
    • yes, which is especially funny considering you no longer have an option to turn them off, so how could this matter to anyone? It would be pretty evil if they waited until after Windows 10 EOL to renew the certs, but based on these dates, it looks like that wouldn't be possible, so no worries that I can see.
