Softpedia Editor's Review for DeskSpace
|
A virtual desktop manager that features a 3D cube effect workspace changer
Written by Bogdan Popa on October 20th, 2011
If you believe productivity is an issue and you’re still looking into ways to deal with it, you should probably try one of those apps that let you work on multiple desktops at the same time.
DeskSpace is probably the best choice in this particular category, as it provides up to six desktops that can be easily controlled directly a few keyboard shortcuts.
Installation is a matter of three clicks, trust us we’ve count them, while the interface is basically the 3D cube that lets you change the desktop you’re working on.
There is a very rich settings menu which allows users to change almost every single bit of the way the app works, including wallpapers, icons, keyboard shortcuts and many, many others.
The thing we liked the most is definitely how quick the application actually works. Switching between two desktops takes less than a second, despite the visual effects that you see every time this process takes place. Truth is, it lags a little bit when trying to jump directly onto another desktop, but this is probably an issue that could be resolved in the next builds.
We’ve tested the 14-day trial version of the app and we must admit that we had no idea that the 3D effects we’ve seen on Linux distributions gifted with Compiz are also possible on a Windows machine.
It’s all about productivity after all, so in case you’re in search for a tool that could increase your efficiency, paying 25 dollars to unlock its full powers is quite a smart investment.
