About
If you're familiar with X-Windows workstations, you have probably used one virtual window manager or other. Virtual is one of those, for the Mac. It presents you with multiple 'virtual screens' where you can place your windows, so you don't have a clutter of them on your real screen. You can switch virtual screens with a key combination, or by choosing that screen in the Virtual window. You can drag windows around to move them to other screens, and so on.
This is the final version of the new Virtual 2.0. It is fully compatible with Mac OS 8, and has tons of improvements over previous versions, including:
- More visual feedback: zoom rects when switching screens, changing desktop pattern to match the virtual screen's pattern, live dragging of windows.
- Reorganized mouse-switching into three modes: simple (wait), elastic (push against the edge of the screen), ballistic (throw the mouse against the edge).
- Reorganized preferences: added balloon help and two new sections: Virtual Screens (setting of pattern and name info for virtual screens) and Sticky. Added option to add, as well as remove dogged apps and sticky windows.
- Misc tweeks: clicking the title bar of the Virtual window brings Virtual to the front, etc.
