Spaces vs. Virtue Desktops - Go!

8 Spaces on the 15 inch MBP.

Also, Spaces lets you specify which apps open where, not sure if Virtue Desktops can do that, other than that I can't really see any major differences.......

You were asking for tips for maximizing the use of spaces - here's one:

Assign a screen corner in Expose Settings to Spaces.

Then, all you have to do is mash the mouse into the corner of the screen which will nstantly bring up the spaces overview window - then just click the appropriate space you want to switch over to.

I found this switching method far easier than using the app in the dock or even using a key combo because you dont have to think about which app in in which space, you can SEE it visually - this simple feature made spaces a joy to use (for me at least)!

I like You Control Desktops as my virtual desktop app. Very powerful

Interesting - How did you enable Option-Space to enable Spaces?

Go to Keyboard and Mouse, select the Keyboard shortcuts, go find Spaces, click on F8 and wait a sec for the box to change to edit mode. Then hit option-space.

Kinda goofy that this is the only way to do it 😉

AHHH, very nice. Thanks William
