WebDesktopManager employs an object-based approach to give you granular control over every visual aspect of its elements. Offering a rich set of properties to control shortcut, icons, taskbar, and window elements, it enables you to create the precise appearance your desktop requires with a minimum of effort.

In version 4, WebDesktopmanager has been fully support for latest web standards and style sheet language which are HTML5 and CSS3. WebDesktopManager also allows you to use many cutting-edge technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and powerful features offered for your next-generation web applications.

These are the following details of enhancements and new features that have been implemented in WebDesktopManager:

• Fluid content

  To enable height percentage of WebDesktopManager, you only have to set Height property in TaskBarStyle and WindowHeaderHeight in WindowSettings. During implementation, height of Desktop will depend on WebDesktopManager’s Height property and TaskBarStyle’s Height property and the rest will be calculated automatically by our control. Also the content of WebDesktopWindow will be fluid as it should be regarding to WindowHeaderHeight and its Height. This configuration is necessary because of element changed from table to div.
