Radsoft RadVWM

Using your computer as the primary tool for your daily activities might imply working with a great deal of windows on your desktop. One workspace might not be enough, case in which you can turn to third-party alternatives for help. For instance, Radsoft RadVWM makes it easy to configure and customize multiple desktops.

One of the first things you notice is the lack of an installer, which means the application can be taken for a spin as soon as download is done. As such, it’s just right to fit on a thumb drive in case you want or need to use it on other computers besides your own. Runtime does not affect registry entries, so it doesn’t put much strain on the target PC.

Four desktops become available as soon as the application is launched. A pretty simple window also shows up with a clean configuration showing all active desktops in large preview areas, along with icons of running programs and opened windows. There are several customization options available and you can access them from the context menu.

The application makes it possible to create a lot more windows than the default preset. Switching is only done from the main window, which stays on top in all desktops. Icons can be easily dragged across desktops to be moved, or made sticky so they stay active in all windows.

Choosing to capture the wallpaper allows you to configure a different one for each desktop. The only downside to the whole operation is that closing the application doesn’t return all windows to the main desktop, and running the program again can’t read existing instances, making windows practically stuck, but not closed.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Radsoft RadVWM is a straightforward tool with which to enhance your entire workspace. Some degree of attention is required so you don’t leave windows stuck in other desktops, but you benefit from a lot of flexibility when using this program.
