<description><![CDATA[honestly, i have no idea how a program that just tells me it has been activated successfully actually gets installed...
as there is nothing else besides the setup.exe, i guess it doesnt need anything else besides telling me a serial number...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The point of a tool like this is to keep most open windows out of my sight but instantly there in a click, Mosaico does help in some good ways but by staying onscreen it gets in my way. It needs to be developed to run as a tray icon.
Others have mentioned similar Re-Aranging freeware such as AquaSnap

A good freeware comparison for flipping up to 8 Virtual desktops is DeskHedron Its over two years old and ALSO does not support multi-monitors, but  quick to set-up multiple desktops MY WAY and well worth a look at only 150kB (no changes to registry = 100% portable)

Whilst you are there, MagicFormation is a nice way to build a gesture menu and you can edit the ini file to run your prefered apps or flip to other windows, just DON'T edit the ini file while its running as it gets replaced during the quit action.

For XP users also see their WinFlip
WinFlip emulates Windows Vista's "Flip 3D" effect for Windows XP. Using the hotkey of your choice, you can find the window you're looking for in a fast, clean 3D interface.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[OK, an issue.  I use the "Classic Start menu" on Windows XP, with the Taskbar relocated to the left side/edge of the Desktop (and the auto-hide feature enabled).  This allows me to drag-stretch the Taskbar wider so that the button titles for the active windows are "stacked" vertically, and the Taskbar is wide enough to easily read their names.  (The Taskbar default position along the bottom edge crams the buttons side-by-side so that the titles' widths keeps changing and are nearly unreadable when there are many open at once.)

Anyway, I notice that Mosaico apparenly does not recognize that the auto-hide feature is on, and will not use the Desktop area which gets temporarily covered by an activated auto-hidden Taskbar when the "auto-arrange" button is pressed.

Since I have my Taskbar stretched to about 2 inches wide to make for easy reading of the active window button titles, that means Mosaico will not use that area during an "auto-arrange" of on-screen windows.

----------

Also, an idea/improvement (if staying with the present roll-up window concept rather than an alternative concept like a notification tray icon):  Implement a "transparency" slider for when the window is rolled up (mouse cursor not hovering over it) so that it can help reveal icons/controls/etc. that may be hidden by it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have now installed it on my XP SP3 machine, and so far it seems to work OK as advertised.  (Thanks, "Mike" and others for explaining what it really does.)  I have not yet used it for hours to see if there are any long-term stability issues.  As usual with software of this nature (i.e., those that alter behavior normally handled by Windows' own built-in features), I did a RESTART after the install before first launching and registering it.

In the "Share your ideas" box at the top, Sebastian said "Make Mosaico available from tray and minimizable".

I agree that this would be the most "conventional" method of getting the space-hogging/in-the-way control box off the main desktop area.  If the box were made any smaller in its present implementation (to be less intrusive), then yet more people would complain about the "small icons" (although they seemed big enough at my monitor's resolution).

I realize that the point of the control box being on-screen is to make access as handy as possible without an excessive amount of mouse clicks and navigation, but I think that either a one-click or a "hover" over an icon residing in the Taskbar's "notification area" (system tray) would be better.

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I should have referenced this more appropriate page, "Usage share of operating systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

It's a more detailed up-to-date overview about who is currently using what mainstream OS on which computing platform.  I.E., it summarizes percentages of servers, mainframes, tablets, mobile devices, netbooks, desktops, etc., that are running Macintosh, Windows, Linux, Blackberry, etc.

Might be useful to potential software title developers, the GOTD staff, or to the "simply curious" for nerdy conversation fodder.  ;-)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#15 "ds5929"

FWIW, 48% of the world is presently using Windows XP, while 18% is using Windows 7:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_operating_systems

I'll agree with you that an increasing number of 64-bit systems is gaining ground, especially with stores "pushing" them on pre-loaded machines, but it's no where near being the majority of the installed base.  

Also, I imagine that the bulk of available commercial, shareware, and free/open-source/etc. developer's tools (which take some time to gain experience in and master) are still mainly 32-bit based.  So it's not surprising to me that a developer might first choose to work on and release a product version that the biggest potential market would be able use, especially in a product's early development phase (the company website apparently started just this past January, and Mosaico first released in May).

(...and now it's my turn to download and try this out on my own "ancient/obsolete" XP machine!...)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If Mosaico doesn't work any better than TurnoffScreen I wouldn't bother with it. I tried  the latter and while the 2 minute nag worked perfectly the screen saver never did. It's only $5 but why waste $5 on a program that's proved itself not to work.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Even though it doesnt say after you have installed you will need to reboot your machine before it will work. It is a good concept and I could see it being very useful but the program stays on top all the time and in order to switch between your different screen pictures/setups you have to scroll through all your screens pictures and then click which one you want. It would be better if you could map it to keys in order to switch between the different window setups, that would make switching faster and more useful and you wouldn't need the program on top all the time.]]></description>
