Lost track of which Windows virtual desktop you’re on? This free tool helps

Windows allows you to create multiple desktops, so that users can quickly switch between a work environment, a personal one, and a desktop optimized for gaming. This often leads to overlap: a word processor, for example, is normally needed for both work and personal correspondence.

If the program is running in full-screen mode, it’s often hard to tell which desktop you’re currently on. The simplest method is to assign a different background to each desktop. However, this must be a background image; Windows applies solid colors uniformly across all desktops.
