How I Created Icons for the Virtual Desktops
Just an idea for anyone wanting icons for the virtual desktop. You need a fixed number of virtual desktops for this to work. For example, I am using 3 virtual desktops. If I wanted to use 4, I would have to recode it or just not used the icons.
- Get a free scripting program called AutoIT Home - AutoIt
- Activate the quick launch toolbar Restore Quick Launch Bar in Windows 7 and Windows 10
- Create a script for each of the virtual desktops and put them in the quick launch folder
- Use AutoIT (or other) to determine the x,y positions for the Task View icon, the virutal desktop numbers, and quick view icons
I used this script code:
-----
MouseClick("left",415,1421,1,0) ; click the task view
Sleep(200) ; let it wait a bit to make sure the next click activates
MouseClick("left",1125,1350,1,0) ; click the intended virtual desktop
MouseMove(1245,1418,1) ; put mouse back in position over icon in quick launch
