Review: Dexpot virtual desktop makes feel like a native part of the Windows

Large desktop workstations have often more than enough screen: one or two 24-inch monitors to provide plenty of space for a mission-critical application, as well as multiple chat or email window next to. But if you have a Squeak with a 15-inch monitor (or maybe something even smaller), may be the next best thing to a virtual desktop laptop users additional monitor. Dexpot (25 euros, which is $33 on the 21.02.12; free for personal use) is a great way to get yourself a. Or five.

Dexpot taskbar plugin, you can use virtual desktops to control, without a special window.

I had to Dexpot in one word to describe, I would choose "customizable.". I can give me a single aspect of Dexpot you can not adjust: the animation (or lack thereof) used to switch between virtual desktops toggle number of desktops, hotkeys and active corners for desktops using keyboard and mouse, only one, are whether a virtual desktop runs all your monitors and the list goes on.

An application chooses total customization, is typically inflate the result. Dexpot tried to let you eat your cake and have it, too, through features in plugins break down you can enable or disable you prefer. Disable the plug ins animations, and sure enough, the animations go away - and do the options for them to control this. So not only you can customize the options according to your needs you can customize whether the options are also there from early on.

A learned skill is productive with virtual desktops. Because it is a paradox: a GUI assumes being able to see your applications. Hide in an imaginary desktop and you could also forget to come back later to them. To work around this issue, includes Dexpot Visual cues keep the virtual desktops and applications that contain them in the view. Food aid, Dexpot offers several features, ranging from a tiny indicator in the taskbar with the number which you are on the desktop, through a compact desktop switcher in the Windows taskbar until to an exposé-similar function, the screen shots with scaled-down versions of all window tiles you want all desktops so that you can easily click, without thinking what desk, built-in, it is (you can't learn it by entering its title, though). There is also a full screen preview mode, Division of the screen in separate desktop, you then Windows between can pull.

The preview screen shrinks, so can all virtual desktops on a physical screen and move to Windows.

When downs, some users prefer have a window with a different virtual desktop from the ALT-tab task switcher and taskbar disappear; others prefer it to stay there. Dexpot is to you, so that it is easy to experiment.

The Windows Catalog is similar to exposé on Mac, putting thumbnails of all Windows on the screen at once.

Dexpot staggering array of plug-in the and means fine-grained configuration options, the application you use only agree with the basic premise of virtual desktops, can be a useful thing. The rest is negotiable and can be flexibly adjusted.

You have a keyboard shortcut obsession, like commit Dexpot, your every desire.

Knowing how means everything must adjust to experiment with Dexpot for some time, until a combination of settings hit, which could be useful for you. But if you take the time to do this, you might realize that a 15-inch monitor is finally not so small.
