Corel LINUX lets you use multiple desktops. Desktops are virtual in that they let you extend the desktop workspace beyond the area immediately visible on your computer screen. Virtual desktops help you organize your work and multitask by letting you use different desktops for different tasks. For example, you can use one virtual desktop for writing or programming, another for reading and composing email, and another for reading Help files.
The desktop that displays on your screen is the current desktop. From the current desktop, you can access up to seven other virtual desktops. By default, Corel LINUX lets you access four virtual desktops, however, you can change this number by customizing your desktop settings. For information about customizing virtual desktops, see "Customizing virtual desktops and borders."
The Virtual Desktop Manager, located on the Panel, lets you organize your virtual desktops. Use the Virtual Desktop Manager to view all active virtual desktops, switch between virtual desktops, and move applications between virtual desktops.
The following illustration displays the Virtual Desktop Manager and virtual desktop buttons for each desktop.
You can refresh a desktop to display changes made to the desktop settings.
