I always thought that this is something Linux is missing in general. The ability to know which programs are running on other workspaces. In xfce, I move my mouse over to the other edge of the screen to switch to one of the three workspaces I have. But if I've been working for a while, it can get a bit hectic and it can be easy to forget which windows are where.
Trying the elementary theme and noticing how nice the sidedocks look gave me the idea:
Taskbars that correspond to the side of the screen they are on and another workspace is relative to. The icons themselves would serve more as a pointer to the other workspace rather than something you would actually need to click.
~example: I'm in in the middle workspace (2of3), on workspace1 I have iceweasel and on workspace3 is a terminal. So, on the left dock it shows an iceweasel icon and on the right dock it shows a terminal icon. The current workspace taskbar could be a seperate part of those docks, or (as I would have it) on the bottom dock.
What do you think? (Is it at all possible?)  |
