- Description:
-
- Deskspace provides a larger virtual desktop organised into 'rooms'. Different
- rooms can be selected by moving the mouse pointer over the edge of the screen
- thus allowing save boxs, window drags to work over the entire virtual desktop.
- Other facilities are provided to organise windows within rooms, move rooms
- around the larger virtual desktop, and to change rooms.
- Added features to last update. All rooms can have a separate input focus, and
- better ways of organising windows.
- The features added to this version over 1.11 are that deskspace can force
- windows that open off the screen to appear on the screen, and you can view a
- representation of window placement on the icon bar.
