Frequenly Asked Questions

Are you going to add focus-follows-mouse support?

As a long-time Linux user I would love this feature. If anyone can think of a cunning way to focus a particular window on demand (preferably without changing the window ordering) then tell me and I'll add it into Desktop Manager.

How do I switch desktops without clicking on the pager?

Switching desktops can be performed either by clicking on the desktop preview in the status bar on by using the desktop switch hot keys 'Command-Option-Right Arrow' and 'Command-Option-Left Arrow'.

I've hidden the status bar menu, how do I quit the app?

Control-clicking on the status bar pager also brings up the status bar menu with a 'Quit DesktopManager' option.

I want to temporarily hide that status bar pager. How do I do this?

Either choose 'Hide pager' from the status bar menu or press 'Command-Option-P'. This hot-key will also show the pager again when you want it. This even works if you de-selected 'Show pager in status bar at startup' in the preferences.
