Hi Stemsee - very interesting approach. I generally try to get rid of as many desktop icons as possible as they tend to get hidden by windows - but I wonder if your app could be extended a little to specify a different icon cluster for each desktop?
I can imagine myself using desktop 1 for web browsing and roxfiler stuff, desktop 2 for word processing and mtpaint/image stuff, desktop 3 for music/media stuff and desktop 4 for misc stuff.
I think I saw someone (rufwoof?) placing different backgrounds and icons on different desktops but I didn't do any testing at the time.
I think it might be a nice addition for nicons to be able to select different icon spreads on each desktop. (including the standard puppy "triangle" - but with different icons in each triangle) at top left of each desktop.
EDIT: Wait a minute - is that what unique layout per 4 desktops means? Must try this.
