Multiple Desktops    Control Center FAQ
NOTE Control Center is NOT compatible with Windows Vista

The AIQ multiple Desktops control center is available by clicking Start, Programs, TradingExpert Pro, AIQ Control Center.



Creating a desktop


- To create our first desktop click on Desktop, New. Name the desktop and click OK.

- To add items to the desktop click the menu buttons and size and position the applications.

- When you create an additional desktop, repeat the process.

- The maximum number of desktops you can create is 10. Desktops that are opened (whether in the background or in focus) require system resources to maintain. Systems with minimal RAM (256MB or less) or processor speed (1MB or less) may become slow and unresponsive as the number of desktops increases.

Desktops have three different states and are color-coded as follows

   Green - current desktop that is in focus and active.
   Yellow - open desktops that are open and in the background.
   Red - desktops that are closed.

What can be added to a desktop

  One instance globally

You can only have one of these AIQ applications running in a single desktop. You cannot start a second instance in the same desktop, nor can you switch to a different desktop and start it there.

Once you start one of these, the application button becomes disabled (grayed out).

  One instance per desktop

These applications are limited to one instance in a given desktop, but you can switch to a different desktop and start a second (or third etc) instance. Once you start one of these in a given desktop, the application button will disable. Switching to a different desktop (in which the application is not already started) will enable the application button.
