XWidgetSoft Forum

Hi,

Thanks for XWidget!

I use the Windows+D keyboard combination all the time to display the desktop. However, Windows+D causes my widget to disappear from the desktop. I haven't found a setting that will prevent this.

I did, however, just discover that Windows+M will minimize all windows and leave the widget displayed. But before I try to unlearn years of muscle memory and replace the one-handed Windows+D with the two-handed Windows+M, I thought I'd ask and see if I've missed a setting that will leave the widget displayed with Windows+D.

BTW, I'm sorry if this is addressed elsewhere. The forum search function said that "windows" and "desktop" are too common and wouldn't let me search on them.

Thanks again,
Daniel

Try to open the XWidget settings window through the icon tray to check the hotkey tab, if there is any similar key combination that hide the icons..

Thanks so much for the quick response!

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. Here's what I see on that tab:

Show Dashboard: None
DoubleClick Mouse Middle Button
None

Custom Hotkey is unchecked
Show all widgets when show Dashboard is checked
Custom Show/Hide All Widgets Hotkey is unchecked

Thanks again!

Try to update to the last version. If the problem persists seems that there is a conflit with this particular windows function and XWidget.
I will contact the Dev to check it..
Thank you

I've experienced this issue through many versions of XWidget, not just the latest.

BTW, I just upgraded to express my gratitude for XWidget and your assistance.

Hi again, I resolved this issue by using AutoHotKey to remap my Windows+D key to Window+M.

Thanks for the info! This will be useful for who want to use this function.
