Individual desktop background image assignment

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 19:35:54 -0000

It looks like it has been requested, but here is an more recent
request...

It really would be nice if there was a way to set different background
images for individual desktops. The theme possibilities are exciting!
And, as previously mentioned, it would make each desktop more
distinct so users wouldn't get lost quite as easily.

Many thanks for this great project!

Suppress desktop icons.

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Mar 2005 20:38:28 -0000

Would it be possible to suppress the desktop icons on certain
desktops and display them on other desktops. This would allow you
to have a completely uncluttered desktop.

Multiple Docks for multiple Desktops

Anonymous — Sat, 26 Feb 2005 18:32:26 -0000

Is it possible to linke Desktop Manager to existing Docks managers
or intergrate a new feature where by changing Desktops, a
customized Dock will also be assigned?

Allow Zoom in Desktop Pager

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Feb 2005 09:47:17 -0000

Congrats...this is an awesome application lending for
the best multitasking environment. I also run virtual
pc in fullscreen and often access my office imac
remotely in fullscreen. with these on separate
desktops, it is awesome to switch back and forth
between mac os x, win xp on VPC, my office desktop on
vnc chicken......with my favourite cube transition....
i have to start showing off that soon :) to my friends

The desktop pager is essential for those switching
frequently, but if it can be allowed to zoom when one
is over it , (like the dock), it can be made
unobtrusively small while still allowing application
icons and desktop names to be seen when you are abot to
make the switch.

i knw this has been suggested by someone before, but
that comment added this feature request almost as an
aterthought....so i just repeated it coz i think it
will make it superbly useful.

thanks

status bar does not show applications on 2nd monitor

fessler — Wed, 22 Dec 2004 17:18:46 -0000

The status bar shows applications that are open on the
first monitor,
which is a very nice feature, but it does not show the
icons of any
applications that have been opened on the 2nd display
monitor.
So sometimes I forget that I have open applications
when I logout...

Change doc to show applications with open windows

Paul Westbrook — Tue, 14 Dec 2004 19:28:46 -0000

Change the dock depending on what desktop I am on. If
an application is running, but doesn't have any open
windows in the current desktop, but has some on a
different desktop, the dock on the current desktop
shouldn't show the application icon.

If the user double clicks on the app, it should open a
new window on the current desktop

Create unified "On current desktop" api

Paul Westbrook — Tue, 14 Dec 2004 19:04:25 -0000

Clicking on a url opens it in the web browser window
that last had activity, not the one on the current
desktop. Maybe this is something that the Web
applications could fix.

I would hope that all of these Virtual Desktop tools
support an api that allows applications to ask whether
a window is on the current desktop. If there are no
current windows on the current desktop, the application
could decide to open an new one

Store window order

Paul Westbrook — Tue, 14 Dec 2004 19:02:40 -0000

When I bring an application to the front on one
desktop, I don't want it brought to the front on all of
the other desktops. Maybe this could be solved by
having the Desktop Manager retain the state of the
windows when leaving a desktop, so when entering a
desktop, it will be restored.

Unique Desktop Pictures

Anonymous — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 03:27:06 -0000

How about a feature so you can change your desktop
picture to a potentially different image for each
desktop? That would make it easier to tell the
difference between virtual desktops. However I don't
know how hard it would be to add that feature based on
the coding of the application...

Remember "Run Application" history (autocompletion)

Anonymous — Fri, 10 Dec 2004 17:25:43 -0000

The functionality to start applications with "Run Application" will
automaticly remember the last inserted application names. When
rebooting the OS the history will be gone. Is there a posibility to
remember the history all the time, maybe with a option to empty
the history?? Thanx a lot!
