Desktop indicator for Windows 10

[idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b]

Hi everyone. 

 

Started using different Desktops quite often. 

 

But unlike Linux, there's no indicator and I can't switch via click of a mouse button. 

 

Anyone knows of a third-party app maybe that does this? 

 

Thanks so much!

Im not sure what you mean, switching between the OS at the click of a button, like having the option to reboot into another OS. is that what you mean

No. Win 10 has multiple desktops. Virtual desktops, that is. 

 

To move between them, you Ctrl-Win-(right or left arrows). 

 

The problem is there's no way of knowing which desktop you are on, and U can't switch using the mouse. 

 

I hope I am being clear. 

 

Thx again! 

 

EDIT: CTRL WIN (not crtl alt)

Thx so much!!!

 

Ok so I am seeing this. Didn't know about this. But yes, it's not very good. It also requires multiple clicks. 

 

Linux (specifically, Manjaro with i think XFCE) has such a nice "widget" where it actually shows u the desktops. 

 

Thx for the answer though. I do appreciate it!

Something like this could let you use multiple wallpapers, then just edit a different number in the corner of each one to know which you're on?

And it also adds shortcuts to switch desktops apparently.

Also, look into autohotkey, maybe you can use that for mouse shortcuts or something.

If you're talking about mouse gestures, you may need to get a device that actually supports that kind of stuff, like an MX Master.

Have you tried Virtual Desktop manager?

Look into this also https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys should be helpful, you can switch between desktops without using the mouse, also create new desktops.

My Logitech mouse has previous/next desktop shortcuts in the possible mappings.
