Virtual desktops in Mac OSX, Windows and Linux
Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Many people know that such a handy tool in the default operating Mac OSX and Linux operating systems is included as "desks" or "Spaces". Those. you can work on your operating system, use the countless number of desktops, thus focusing on the fact that the most important or split, for example, work and home, entertainment and serious music and Art. In this article I will discuss how to make the desktop and I will give a list of tools and programs with which you can try to work with the desktop on your PC.
The operating system Mac OSX virtual desktops called Spaces. In the setting of the operating system, you can specify any number of desktops, as well as attach certain programs to fixed tables. Configure hotkeys. In general, it's all :)
But we have something you always want more! Therefore, the program was found Hyperspaces ($ 12.95), which will make working with virtual desktops a real pleasure. From favorite features can be identified:
- assignment to each of their desktop "wallpaper" and beautiful animated transition between the combination Command + left / right;
- the ability to assign desktops names and display them at the same table in any place you have selected font;
- Expose one desktop does not pull all running programs, and displays only those programs that are "owned" by this screen.
In his work, as you can see in the previous screenshot, I use four desktops. I'll tell you more about them.
Job
This basic desktop. On it, I'm writing a blog post, I work in the browser, the documentation is generated, in general, do everything that brings me Income in one form or another. Here I did not pull messengers and do not jump out e-mail or Twitter. While I was there - nothing distracts me from my work.
communication
Here are collected the windows messenger (Skype and Google Talk). Skype and iChat Native Client allows you to collect all the dialogue windows into a single window, which I did. Immediately hangs Tweetie - Twitter client and mail Mail program. Those. as soon as I take the focus away from the basic work, I come here and settle unanswered dialogues and answering emails, writing in Twitter.
Music
On this desktop is iTunes and Player Sweet.fm, which implements the functions of Last.fm radio player and scrobbler. All the music I control with the keyboard, but sometimes when I want to dig in the library, or customize your iPhone sync settings, I turn on the screen №3.
Virtual machines
This screen is a relatively new for me, but very necessary in recent years. To see how the sites will look in the steepest and most stable browser to Microsoft, whose standards do not write or write about implementation virtual desktops in Ubuntu in this article;) Any running in VMWare Fusion virtual machine OS I can deploy in full screen for a moment and remember that viruses have become for me threat №1. And running OS fills the entire virtual desktop without interfering others working in Mac OSX program of its kind.
Desktops also in Ubuntu implemented as spartan in Mac OSX. You can only create any number of desktops and rename them all :) No Expose them for inspection or obvious change settings key is provided between them.
Linux users can send me to delve into the text config and configure the shortcuts, but I can not and do not try to teach me :) Additional programs I was not looking for expanding the functionality of desktops, but would be happy if you share with me and our readers.
Share your experience with virtual desktops.
