Frequently Asked Questions
- How does VirtueDesktops work?
VirtueDesktops uses private CoreGraphics APIs to implement virtual desktop functionality. It does this by injecting code into the Dock process so that it can manipulate windows that it doesn’t ‘own’, and retrieve lists of windows from all applications and other virtual desktops.
- How do I undo the changes to the Dock?
Virtue is not permanently installing anything into the Dock. VirtueDesktops' changes are temporary and only affect the Dock until the Dock process is restarted. You can restart the Dock by either logging out, by killing the Dock process manually using a tool like the Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app), or by rebooting your mac.
- Where is the pager? I can't get it to show on the desktop!
VirtueDesktops doesn't show a desktop pager on the screen like other virtual desktop managers do. To display VirtueDesktops' pager, use the default HotkeysCommand-Option-TaborShift-Tab. Shift-Tab displays the pager in “sticky mode”, where the pager is shown until a desktop is selected or a click outside the pager happens.Command-Option-Tabshows the pager in “normal mode” that shows the pager as long as bothCommandandOptionare pressed; use the arrow-keys to select a desktop or hover the mouse cursor above a desktop and let go of one of the pressed modifiers to automatically hide the pager and switch to the selected desktop.
