Integrate desktop preview into windows taskbar as a toolbar?

[dazbradbury]

Hi,

Ok, this is one great program, but just to steal something from Linux, wouldn't it be possible to create a windows toolbar interface for the desktop preview option?

That way, you would no longer need a floating window to use desktop preview, and it would all be nicely integrated into the taskbar...

Thanks in advance!
Daz.

Hello

I suppose you refer to desktop switcher from gnome:

See: 2.3.3 Bottom Panel

That would be nice too.

Exactly, that would be amazing...!

I agree. I like dexpot the most from all the windows options, but the only functionality I need is really that of the linux workspaces.

And while having all desktops 1,2,3,4 in the system tray is close, the system tray isn't really ideal, plus there's no preview.

Having such a taskbar setup would rock.

An Alternate Suggestion:

Replace the four little Monitor icons of the Desktop Manager with the Icon based graphics of the standard Desktop Preview Function.

I believe this would actually be a more graphically useful interface than I currently get in my Ubuntu boot.
What Ubuntu provides, in the bottom task bar Desktop Identifiers, is not much more than a visual nudge to help me remember what I have placed on each desktop.

I think Dexpot would provide a much better user experience than Ubuntu with this change. I do not mind the small Desktop Manager Mini Monitor Array in the bottom right.

I have been using Dexpot for one day, and here I am suggesting enhancements!
This is the Best Windows XP Desktop Manager that I have seen. I have tried several others, and none of them has lasted more than a couple of days.
This one looks like a keeper.
