Actual Tools Virtual Desktops 8

For separating several tasks into manageable groups of windows. Actual Tools Virtual Desktops 8 adds as many virtual desktops as you need, each with its own name and wallpaper. A Virtual Desktops Switcher shows thumbnails of every desktop, and windows move between desktops with a title-bar button, a window-menu command, hotkeys or automatically when a program starts. In Independent mode each monitor has its own set of desktops. Separate desktops provide a way to divide work by activity. One workspace might contain a writing task and its references, while another holds communication tools or a different project. Switching the visible desktop changes the group of windows in front of you, reducing the need to minimise and restore many applications by hand. It is particularly useful when a single screen must accommodate several working contexts. Virtual desktops organise existing application windows. They do not create separate virtual machines or isolated operating systems, and applications still share the same computer resources. Plan the desktop groups around how you work, then check any automatic placement rules before relying on them for a complex workspace.
