Partitions

Partitions is a much more simplified program than iTop Easy Desktop . Basically, it lets you set up new named folders, with a color background window on desktop that acts as a portal/shortcut to that folder. Simple can be better, but you are more limited in options in background color and transparency. Without shading, I find the colors garish. Folders are kept by default in the program's choice of location vs a place of your choice. It appears, however, that you can move the folder/portal.

"Partitions" are folder windows (no automatic grouping of desktop icons), similar to Portals - you have to keep taking new shortcuts from the desktop to the folders when software updates and adds the shortcuts again.

On latest Windows 11 updated to the day:

• these "partitions" (folder windows) don't pin to the desktop / background - they just act like normal windows and other windows go behind them when you click them, or rather they come to the front of other windows I guess;
• program crashes if any of the "partitions" contain any unsupported icons such as Steam games shortcuts and other Internet shortcuts and more;

On the upside, when you double-click inside these "partitions" (let's call them containers) on a subfolder, it switches (opens into view) to that one inside that container, so that's a nice way of organizing many icons (especially since it will stay like that for the Windows session).

Another upside is the looks - the "partitions"/windows are a streamlined yet modern style, with translucency.
