zVirtualDesktop

Delineating your projects is a good idea, especially if you are a multi-tasker and strive for a clean workspace. If your computer runs Windows 10, an application such as zVirtualDesktop could come in handy since it allows you to separate your work using multiple virtual desktops you can easily control using hotkeys.

While Windows 10 has some built-in tools covering this specific functionality, zVirtualDesktop could bring about more clarity and might feel a little more intuitive.

First of all, it should be said that the program is centered around productivity, and proof of that is that it allows you to customize all the hotkeys letting you navigate each desktop in part as you see fit.

Once launched, the app hides in the system tray, where it reveals all its features, provided that you access its Settings window. By default, the software utility comes with a plethora of hotkeys, but as said, changing them should only take a couple of seconds.

As such, you can specify which key combination you use in order to navigate to a specific desktop, move a window to any of your desktops, pin or unpin windows and applications, toggle desktop view, and much more.

Aside from that, the program allows you to customize the desktop view’s appearance and even try your hand at tweaks to the window thumbnails. Moreover, enabling desktop timers is possible so that you know how much time you have spent on a specific task.

What also important is that you can come up with a name for the nine desktops you have at your disposal, not to mention that setting a different wallpaper for each of them is an option. Selecting an icon theme to your liking should not take more than a couple of seconds, and showing overlay when switching desktops is a given.

On an ending note, zVirtualDesktio is a well put-together app making the most of Windows 10's virtual desktops and the ability to control them using custom hotkeys. The app requires no installation, is easy to configure, so you may want to take a look at it.
