Because a ghost window is like a picture of a visible window, the process of creating a ghost window is called "taking a snapshot." You can take a snapshot of any individual window or of all running application windows at once.
\par \pard\plain \s10\li115\sb160\sl-240\tx0 \b\f15\fs20\lang1033 To create a ghost window for each running application that is not minimized:

\par \pard\plain \li115\sb80\sl-240 \f15\fs20\lang1033 
Each snapshot either creates a new ghost window or, if one already exists for a visible window, moves the existing ghost to match the current position of the visible window. When a snapshot is made, all ghost windows are shown so that you can see which ar
e currently defined. You can then press {\fs16 CTRL+G} to change how TopDesk shows ghost windows.

The Height and Width fields represent the number of desktops shown by TopDesk in the horizontal and vertical directions. Check the Adjust On Resize option if you want TopDesk to alter the Width and Height fields when you resize the TopDesk window. This ke
eps the individual desktops from becoming too distorted.
\par When the Adjust On Resize option is selected, TopDesk remembers two sets of width and height settings: one for when the menu bar is present and one for when it is absent.  This is because in some TopDesk configurations the shape of the client area can be 
significantly different depending on the presence of the menu bar.  The current set being used is displayed in the dialog box, but both are set when the dialog box is closed.
