    Need: Virtual desktops on monitor 1, previews of desktops on monitor 2


    Hello,
    Program recommendation thread.
    I need 4 virtual desktops; I have 1 monitor at 1080p, and 1 monitor at 720p. I would like the 1080p monitor to display the active virtual desktop, while the 720p monitor consistently maintains a "preview grid" of all the desktops available.

    As of right now with the programs I've tried, the virtual desktops are stretching across both monitors. The preview panels cannot be consistently stuck to one monitor and not the other.

    I need:
    - The 4 virtual desktops to only appear on the 1080p monitor
    - The preview grid to only appear on the 720p monitor
    - The preview grid to always be active and open
    - Preferably: To be able to crop and zoom in to which sections of each virtual desktop I want to appear in each preview grid

    Which program out there would be most suitable for this? *NOTE* DexPot does not have all these fucntions
    Thanks!

    Have you tried Dexpot? I tried it some time ago. But my workflow couldn't take advantage of its utility.

    Dexpot unfortunately does not have all the features needed.

I heard Windows 7 was to include Virtual Desktop support, like Linux. However, I can't find this anywhere. Anyone else? Mike
