Re: Informal survey: multiple desktops

Yes, I use them and so do the people for whom I have installed Linux. My own use is with Fluxbox on Debian. I have six or more depending, and generally start up each app on a new desktop. Fluxbox also allows you to put open apps into tabs on one desktop, which is useful if working on multiple

On both Xubuntu and MX Linux (i.e. both using the xfce window manager) I do NOT have a problem with LiveCode popping up on all virtual desktops. Richmond. On 2/5/2018 2:15 am, Warren Samples via use-livecode wrote: On 04/30/2018 11:43 PM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode wrote: Now that

Re: Informal survey: multiple desktops

Possibly. Although if 'multiple desktops' (whether capitalised or not) IS treated as a feature, then 'multiple desktops' IS singular. If, however, one is counting multiple desktops (I have 4 on my main Linux box) then 'multiple desktops' ARE plural. Of course, this could be a case of

Re: Informal survey: multiple desktops

I use a Mac with an additional monitor and have been content with that, but lately I have been bitten by the bug in LC which doesn’t allow the multiple monitor setup to reflect the real-world relationship between the screens, so multiple monitors might help. Just upgraded my Windows VM to 10,

RE: Informal survey: multiple desktops

On Win 10 the taskbar icons get scrambled when switching between desktops, RDT's are unexpectedly focused causing the "switch desktop" key combo to stop working. The LC tool pallet and a plug-in in pallet mode both appear on all desktops. I'm not keen on multiple desktops at this point. I've been

I use them on my Mac all the time. Chrome, Atom, SourceTree, terminals on one and usually switch to another for LiveCode. I also put a compiled version of LC on another desktop to easily switch between production and compiled. Have not started using them on Windows yet, but would anticipate

Re: Informal survey: multiple desktops

All the time on Linux and never on Mac, for a very simple reason: On my single Mac computer I have 2 socking great monitors (bags of real-estate), and on all my Linux boxes (more than you could shake a stick at) I have single monitors. I much prefer having 2 (or more) monitors so I can see
