194 Virtual Desktops
The desktop can be configured to suit your requirements by using
settings in the
Desktop dialog. This is displayed by clicking menu in
the taskbar and selecting
Control Panel, then double-clicking the
Desktop icon in the Control Panel - Main window.
A description of all the settings in the
Desktop dialog can be found
in the section “Desktop Settings” on page 213.
Virtual Desktops
NeoLinux supports up to eight virtual desktops, enabling you to hide
the current desktop, including any running applications, in order to
display another desktop in which more applications can be run. The
setting of the
Number of virtual desktops option in the Desktop dia-
log determines how many virtual desktops are available to the user.
The taskbar will display a button for each virtual desktop, labelled 1
to a maximum of 8. Clicking on a virtual desktop button will cause
that desktop to be displayed.
You can move a window displayed in one desktop to another desk-
top using the
Move To option in the Window Control menu. Refer to
the section “Window Controls” on page 200 for details.
