OVERVIEW
This application is owes its life to two applications written in C or C++:
-
multiDesk - A desktop manager written in ? that inspired the user interface
for VRVirtualDesktop. It was written by John F. Liu
-
VirtualDimension - An open source desktop manager written in C++. The implementation
of VRVirtualDesktop relies mostly on what I learned from this application. It was written by Francois Ferrand.
BASIC USAGE
When this is run, it creates six icons in the Window’s system tray. Each of these represents a virtual desktop. If you click on them with the left mouse button, the “virtual desktop” associated with that icon comes into view. By that I mean that windows shown on the current desktop are hidden and windows on the new desktop are shown.
-
Moving Windows from one virtual desktop to another
To move a window from one virtual desktop to another, bring that window to the front, and then right click on the icon of the virtual desktop that you want to move it to.
-
Naming a desktop
Right click on the VRVirtualDesktop icon and set the name option. Enter in the name for the desktop. When you mouse over the icon for that desktop a tool tip will appear with that name.
-
Quitting
Right click on the VRVirtualDesktop icon and select the exit option. When you quit, the names of the desktops and which windows were on which desktops is saved.
