Window Management Software
Alternatives to Dexpot
Dexpot adds supplemental virtual desktops to Windows, letting you switch by keyboard or mouse while keeping windows and icons organized. Full-screen previews provide live desktop overviews and let you drag windows between desktops; the window catalog tiles windows on one desktop. Desktops can have separate files, shortcuts, wallpapers, and background colors, including different backgrounds per monitor. Rules apply actions to matching new windows, and plugins add hot corners, mouse-wheel switching, grid navigation, transitions, and other controls.

Choosing instead of Dexpot
You may prefer an alternative when you need another operating system, prioritize arranging windows on one screen, or want broader monitor controls and automation. Dexpot is Windows-only, and its download page lists version 1.6.14, updated September 4, 2014, for Windows XP through 8.1 and server versions. Private use is free, while paid plans start at €24.90 and licensing is required for professional users. Compare platform coverage, workspace versus window management, automation, monitor features, and the cost and scope of licenses before switching.
