Virtual desktops are great for users who want to avoid clutter and need to work with multiple window layouts for various tasks. However, some feel that Windows doesn’t provide them with all the management tools they need.

SylphyHorn is an open-source utility design to make it a bit easier to control multiple virtual desktops. It helps you keep track of them, move windows between desktops and even lets you use different wallpapers for each of them.

If you switch between multiple desktops frequently, it can be difficult to remember which of them you are using currently. To help you out, this utility displays notifications when switching to a different virtual desktop.

What’s more, you can also view the number of the active virtual desktop in the system tray at all times. However, the font is quite small, which could be an issue on high-resolution displays.

Normally, Windows keeps the same wallpaper for all your virtual desktops, and there is no way to modify one without changing all the others.

With SylphyHorn, however, you can select a folder where your wallpapers are stored, and the application will switch to a different one automatically. However, keep in mind that the naming convention must be observed for this feature to work correctly.

If you want to switch to a new virtual desktop but keep working with the active window, you can move it with a simple hotkey.

It is possible to pin a window to all virtual desktops, which can be very useful if you need an application for multiple tasks.

Overall, SylphyHorn is a great utility for users who feel that Windows lacks a few tools for managing virtual desktops. It can help you work more efficiently, and it is relatively user-friendly.
