Freeware Pick: SpaceSuit


Download

Spaces is one of the hundreds of new features Apple has introduced with the original version of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Spaces lets users configure their work spaces by visiting the Exposé & Spaces pane in System Preferences.

According to Apple, in the System Prefs pane dedicated to the two functions of Leopard, you can “Add rows and columns until you have all the real estate you need. Arrange your spaces as you see fit, then choose the function keys you want to control them.

 

You can assign an application to always open in a specific space, if that’s more convenient — so you’ll always know where, say, Safari or Keynote is.” Apple, however, forgot to add something very important and useful – the ability to add a different background for every space, so users could better determine their whereabouts, so to speak.

Computer savvy users probably have no problem in switching through Spaces on the same background image, but for the average user it's important to know exactly where they are. This is where SpaceSuit comes in and saves the day.

This Dockland Software-developed application lets you customize each Space with its own wallpaper and identify it quickly every time you switch from one Space to another.

Setting or changing a background image couldn't be easier. Drag your image to SpaceSuit's Dock icon, and SpaceSuit will immediately apply it to the current Space! To change the display setting or to remove the image, right-click on SpaceSuit's icon and the options will be available right there.

Users needn't worry about using complex commands, or having to go through configuration steps. As a bonus, SpaceSuit uses Core Animation, Leopard's animation technology. Each time you change an image, resize it, or modify your display settings, SpaceSuit adjusts your desktop with a visually-pleasant animation.

Softpedia believes SpaceSuit is a must-have for every Mac owner that uses Spaces. Give it a try and come back with your impressions.
