Quickly Manage your Desktop Settings with TrimDesk
Windows allows you to customize desktop by selecting the wallpapers, icons for apps and files, hiding the taskbar or icons and many more features. But not all these features are located at one single place, so its not easy to change these settings frequently. TrimDesk is a freeware app for Windows which lets you customize and manage your desktop settings quickly and easily. The tool allows you to present content on your desktop in whatever way you like and also can be used as a simple launch pad for your applications.
From the main interface, you can hide or display icons, gadgets, taskbar and the background image. You can add more custom actions using the sets tab. You can configure multiple sets using the advanced config. There is also option to set the hotkeys for these tasks. For example, if you want to hide the taskbar for some reason, simply press the hot key instead of manually hiding it from the Windows settings.
You can also access these features from the main menu of the app. The app is pretty small and sits on the desktop allowing you to perform quick actions or change settings. You can also set transparency for the app and minimize it to smaller size.
