    911The official home page [http://www.xworkplace.org/] unfortunately seems to be not maintained anymore so I decided to write down some information here about the current state of this project emphasizing on the needs of developers who may build xwp and add features.

    11 This page needs some polishing. So if you want to contribute feel free to edit this wiki.
     13===Features===
     14XWorkplace consists of a whole collection of WPS replacement classes, plus lots of other features, among which are:
     15* Freely configurable context menus.
     16* Extended sort functions: finally there are system-wide default sort options, plus more sort criteria (e.g. sort by extension).
     17* Display of folder content in context menus.
     18* Freely configurable folder status bars.
     19* Full path in folder window title bar.
     20* Freely configurable folder hotkeys (e.g. "F5" for "Refresh now", or "Ctrl+E" for "Sort by extension"): more than 30 items can be configured.
     21* Freely configurable object hotkeys: assign a hotkey to any WPS object and have it opened quickly this way.
     22* "Snap to grid" for all folders.
     23* Auto-scroll folder Tree views to make appearing items visible.
     24* Extended Shutdown / Restart WPS features: you can now abort shutdown, configure many things, skip hanging programs, and even automatically reboot to a certain partition, if you have BootManager installed.
     25* Lots of new WPS settings objects to ease system configuration, including CONFIG.SYS settings and device driver setup.
     26* New "WPS Class List" object for manipulating the WPS class list.
     27* Default WPS icons can be freely replaced.
     28* More system sounds for certain WPS events.
     29* "Treesize" utility to find out how much disk space is consumed by a folder and its subfolders.
     30* "Netscape DDE Interface" utility to have URLs being passed to the currently running Netscape instance instead of always starting a new one.
     31* A trash can with full WPS "delete" support.
     32* Lots of mouse and keyboard enhancements, such as sliding focus, sliding menus, screen corner objects, and global object hotkeys — all with full WPS integration.
     33* PageMage, a "virtual desktops" utility.
     34* The XCenter, a WarpCenter replacement.
