Q: Why are some programs in 64bit and others 32bit?
A: Most GiMeSpace programs are designed to use extremely little cpu time, most programs are in 32bit because it uses less memory than 64bit. Only programs that are depending on cpu performance are available in 64bit because it is faster and they can use all the memory that is available.
Q: Do your programs run on ARM? Will you support ARM?
A: Some of the more simple GiMeSpace apps might run in the x86 emulation layer while others probably are to complex to work depending how well MS made the emulation layer. The market share of ARM on windows is too tiny to make it profitable to develop for it. It's only advantage is longer battery life when you only run native apps. Intel and AMD will likely close the gap on battery life soon, meaning there is really no reason to switch to ARM at all. There are only down sides like high price and mediocre performance and compatibility issues. The strength of Windows and x86 has always been compatibility, this will never change.
Specific questions about the desktop extenders:
Q: I can not resize a windows vertical size to larger then my screen.
A: Some programs don't allow their windows to be resized to bigger sizes with the mouse. But GiMeSpace has an extra tool to do this: Select the window, right click on the GiMeSpace tray icon and select Set window size. Enter the desired size and hit apply. Also remember to load the 64bit extension if you want to resize a 64 bit application.
Q: My Thunderbird window "rolls up" to a minimum vertical size.
A: Some programs resize their window incorrectly after moving, that is a bug in their code but you can solve it like in the previous question by forcing a fixed size on the window: Select the window, right click on the GiMeSpace tray icon and select Set window size. Enter the desired size and hit apply. Also remember to load the 64bit extension if you want to resize a 64 bit application.
Q: Winamp doesn't scroll.
A: Yes Winamp and some other programs have their own interface manager. There is nothing to do about this.
Q: I don't want my toolbars and gadgets to scroll.
A: Select these toolbars as non scrolling window classes in the Scrolling windows tab.
Q: Maximized windows behave weird.
A: Yes, some of these windows do not like to be scrolled. Click the restore button and resize them manually to full screen sized.
Q: Can I make a screenshot of my oversized window?
A: Yes, the latest version of the 3D edition does support saving bitmap screenshots of windows that are bigger than your physical screen. This is especially a great feature to make high resolution screenshots from documents that are not able to be printed.
Q: My 64bit programs can not be sized to bigger sizes then my screen.
A: Start the 64bit extension from the GiMeSpace folder in your start menu. Then both 32bit and 64bit program windows can be "over-sized".
Q: Do the Desktop Extenders work together with the multiple desktop manager from windows 10?
A: Yes, the latest versions do now work well together with the multiple desktop interface of Windows 10/11.
Q: How do I synchronize the hotkey positions and the save windows positions?
A: Concerning the positions, you have to understand that there are no absolute coordinates in your virtual desktop only relative positions to the view you have now.
So the hotkey positions are save relative to the last hotkey position you activated.
You can also save you window positions and restore them later, but if you want to match those with the hotkeys then you need to save and restore them at the position of the last hotkey you activated.
Q: My question is not answered.
A: Email: gimespace@gimespace.com
