| Post subject: | prevent Windows+D from hiding widget? |
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. |
