High quality desktop graphics on Windows with speed improvements.
Depending on which version of Windows you're running, if you're a power user you have probably used the Alt-Tab hotkey before to switch between work spaces and Windows. Windows XP doesn't necessarily provide any graphical enhancements while newer versions of MS operating systems like Vista and Windows 7 use a lot of resources to display the Alt Tab interface in a very intensive manner by default.
That's exactly why TopDesk was created. It is essentially a replacement to the clunky Windows Alt Tab interface and pulls it off nicely. TopDesk offers three different windows views to users and each one of them are eye candy galore.
The main functionality of TopDesk is something that you already have if you're running one of the many newer versions of Windows.. but if you're looking for something a little bit more special, then this application might be for you.
The three window layout modes are impressive, and you'll be given the option to select between one of them. They are "Grid", "Flip" and "Spatial". The actual shortcut you'll be forced to use is not Alt Tab like you're used to, but more likely the Windows key Tab.
In order to make TopDesk work smoothly, you're able to change between both 16-bit and 32-bit image modes. In the lesser (16-bit), expect that the graphical elements in TopDesk to render quicker and thus the application to run smoother on lower-spec systems. 32-bit would obviously be the opposite.
Overall, however, TopDesk is an excellent application which makes Windows graphics look amateur. Highly recommended if you're big on graphics.
