| Hi Kim, this has been on my wish-list for years, but unfortunately nobody has come up with a widget yet. I've been thinking about doing it myself for a while, but I've so many half-finished projects that it's better for me (and for users) if I finish them instead of jumping on yet another new project. BTW, there's a way of having sort of a virtual desktop widget. These are the steps: 1) Create a desktop scheme were the windows borders are set to 1 pixel. One problem with this approach is that, whenever you click on the XCenter, the virtual desktop window disappears for a while. If I remember correctly the virtual desktop does not have an "always on top" flag. I solved this problem adding it to the bottom border for activation, so that when I click on the XCenter (with the effect of hiding the virtual desktop) all that I need to do is to move the mouse a little further down to hit the bottom border, and the virtual desktop resurfaces. Hope this helps... Cris |
