FINALLY!

At long last the "BandVWM" has gotten its much needed, long overdue overhaul.  For something like 50 years (something like that) we've been telling people that a version 2 is "in the works".  Well, now you will be able to see what we've been working on. This is a complete, 100% rewrite.

Stardock Virtual Desktops enable people to split their single monitor into having  multiple "virtual" desktops.  What's new in version 2 over previous incarnations would be:

  • Each desktop can have its own wallpaper (and it doesn't slow down switching at all - no other program that we know of has managed to be able to have per desktop wallpapers and not slow down the changing, we figured out a way).
  • Per desktop hot key switching.
  • A hot key for toggling through the various virtual desktops
  • It's even faster than the original BandVWM.
  • Can have each desktop only have the tasks that are in that desktop show up on the Start bar.
  • Lots of other little nice tweaks and touches that make it highly useable.

It's only available on Object Desktop. If you already have it, it's a 1.9x beta called BandVWM. Just download it and you can currently use it in your Windows Start bar.  Support for DesktopX, ObjectBar, RightClick, and ControlCenter 2 is forthcoming.

Please make an ObjectDock docklet version so I can get rid of my task manager!

If they could produce a widget with it there's a new version of Systats that allows you to put widgets on Object Dock and Right-Click already accepts widgets. Kill two birds with one stone.
