Hi Martyn,
Did you see my reply before? I am the writer of QDT in case you
didn't recognize my name.
You can position your QDT folders and icons anywhere you want on your
desktop. You said that you were working with an 800x600 desktop so
you should have room around the normal default windows 0-2 which would
avoid having to bring things to the front.
Or you can rearrange how you do your three base basic windows.
Now if you have more folders and icons than you can fit into the open
space, or if you have a program that takes over the entire screen or
insists on sitting on top of your QDT locations, as mentioned there
is a command in the main QDT drop down window that redraws all the QDT
icons and folders on the top of everything. This menu can be accessed
from the QDT icon, any QDT folder, or the short cut key that was setup
when you installed QDT.
Also note that the desktop image is set behind everything, taking
advantage of things that Marcel did in SMSQE. It is separate from
QDT, QDT just draws to the desktop image (IE: your screen background)
but it isn't a separate job and it stays in back.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
By the way, QDT runs better with QPAC2 also - pleases see the manual
for this and other information.

Hello once again
Thanks for the replies.
So, it's more a case of hiding Job 0, than trying to bring the QDT +
wallpaper to the top.
Looks like I need to fork-out some cash for QPAC2 after years of
trying to do without it!

Hi *
I have a question regarding QDT that I have installed in my QPC
environment.
I have not made much use of QDT since I purchased it some time ago,
partly due to the way that the QDT desktop always sits 'behind' my
extended SBASIC job 0 windows.
I have enabled a QDT desktop background that just peeks from
underneath my job 0 windows (which don't quite fill the 800x600 QPC
window that I use), but I can never send the job 0 windows to the
background, in the way that I would expect (i.e. from principally
using Windows). When I switch to any of the QDT icons, they do
appear on top as you would expect, so I don't think there is an
error in that software.
I guess I am missing some understanding of the way PE windows work -
what I would like to achieve is to treat the job 0 windows in the
same way as any other job and have them hidden by the QDT desktop
whenever QDT is brought to the top, just as one might click 'Show
Desktop' in Windows.
Any advice? I'd like to use QDT more (as well as see it continue to
be developed!).

Martyn Hill
