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.
