CubeDesktop creates six virtual and independent desktops, increasing the space you have to work and play.
Being the most robust multiple desktop software, CubeDesktop solves the desktop clutter problem once and for all. Each virtual desktop is a distinct working environment. The taskbar shows only the applications opened on the current desktop, greatly reducing the clutter.

CubeDesktop also includes an integrated icon manager, allowing you to quick and easily which icons are shown on every desktop.
