Appearance
The colour themes, and what the window remembers about how you arranged it.
Colour themes
View › Color Theme offers three choices.
| Theme | What it is |
|---|---|
| Dark Modern | Dark, as the application starts. |
| Light Modern | Light. |
| Follow Windows | Dark or light, as Windows is set (Settings › Personalization › Colors › Choose your mode), and changes when Windows does. |
The theme changes at once, for every window, without restarting and without touching your sessions. A remote desktop keeps its own colours: the theme is PluggedDesk's, not the remote computer's.
What is remembered
- The theme.
- Where the window is, how large it is, and whether it is maximized.
- Whether the side bar is open, which view it shows, and how wide it is.
- The layout of tabs and groups. See Tabs and groups.
All of it is kept in personal.db, in %APPDATA%\PluggedDesk. It is yours and is not part of the workspace.
The side bar
Ctrl B shows or hides it. Clicking the view that is already open in the activity bar does the same. Drag its edge to resize it; drag it narrow enough and it closes; double-click the edge to bring back its usual width. It never takes more than two fifths of the window.
