Chimera Virtual Desktop

August 7, 2007

Unlike all of the windows operating systems, Linux is capable of having more than one virtual desktop. This come in handy when you dont want too many things running into each other, or if you want to hide stuff from your parents (which even I’m guilty of, lol). There are many programs that allow the user to switch from desktop to desktop for windows as well. Some of them include:

  • Chimera Virtual Desktop
  • VirtuaWin
  • Stardock Virtual Desktop

Chimera Virtual Desktop is extraordinarily simple and complex at the same time. There are many options that lets the user determine his/her preference, but in a user friendly way. Chimera Virtual Desktop lets the user switch from desktop to desktop with easy-to-use shortcut keys or by mouse ,again, its up to the user preference. The best thing I like about this software is that each desktop is allowed to have its own password protected lock for privacy. Here are a few screen shots at what the application looks like on a normal XP OS:

The bottom left part of the screen shows that the user is allowed to have 4 desktops. Chimera Virtual Desktop actually allows the user to have a maximum of 9 virtual desktops. I like Chimera Virtual Desktop because it increases my environmental use of my XP operating system with many different options.

The screen image shows that Chimera Virtual Desktop allows for many different settings customized for the user’s preference. Chimera Virtual Desktop is actually not a freeware program, but if you know the right people, it can be, lol.  Leave a comment.
