Re: Adding More Panorama Desktops
 
On my computer, there's a widget on one corner of my screen that displays all of my virtual desktops (I have 5), highlights the active one, and lets me click on any desktop to jump to it. Does such a widget exist for Maemo?

... even if it's 2D (which I assume) - hey! where's the cube! linux always has a 3D cube! :D

Hmm I'd like to see a:
2x4 desktop setup myself.

Why shouldn't it be possible?

Roll up/down/left/right... hell even something unusual like

==|==|==

Could be doable. So you have the center one for whatever you want and the rest for aps you want there. Could probaly even do scrolling between them in a nice circle :)

Why not create a brainstorm? I'm sure theres others who want more also.

There was a discussion about this somewhere, I recall its hildon-home limitation, and backgrounds/theming problems being reasoning. I wouldn't be surprised if fixed eventually, many of us including me would like to see more desktops.

I agree, personally I would just need one or 2 more, but if I can get 8 i'll take that as well :D

Well, think about it. If you have 8 desktops what happens with a main advantage of your current desktops (and that is your personal shortcuts maximum two swipes away from you)? Your shortcuts are going to be 1-2-3-4 swipes from you, and that equals going to menu and choosing it in normal way. ;)
