![]() If you used Exposé in previous versions of OS X to show all windows in a given application or to show just your desktop, you can still do both. If you’d like to deactivate that, you can uncheck that option in the Mission Control preference pane as well. Also by default, when you click on a Dock icon for an open application, Lion will shift you to a space where there are already windows for that app. (It’s a bit like the way Command-Tab always shows the most recent application directly to the right of the current app.) Keep in mind that this option will result in the order of your spaces constantly changing, so if you’d rather keep them static, just deselect this checkbox. By default, “Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use” is active, meaning that the space to the right of your primary space will be the one that was last used. However, you can control a couple of aspects of your spaces’ organization, thanks to two options in the Mission Control preference pane. (Hence the sideways-swipes you use to navigate from one space to another.) And, unlike earlier iterations of Spaces, you can’t arrange your desktops into a two-dimensional grid you get that horizontal array only. You can’t rearrange or rename spaces, either: You get Desktop 1, Desktop 2, and so on, and that’s it. To move a window or app from one desktop to another, you switch to the source desktop in Mission Control, then drag the item up to the thumbnail of the space you want to move it to you can’t drag apps or windows out of those thumbnails. (As with Mission Control, you can also choose to have that be a four-finger swipe.) You can also click on a space in Mission Control to make it the active desktop. To navigate between spaces, you again have several options: A three-finger sideways swipe-in Mission Control or from a desktop-will take you to the next space. Moving windows from one desktop to another is simple too bad that you can’t rename or rearrange those desktops, though. This won’t work with fullscreen apps to get rid of their spaces, you need to switch to the app and toggle it back to windowed mode. ![]() To delete a desktop, you hover your mouse cursor over it in Mission Control until an X appears in the top left corner, then you click on the X any windows or apps left in that space will move to your primary desktop. ![]() Another way to create a new desktop: Shift to full-screen mode in any of your apps that support it. A new picture of your desktop, overlaid with a plus sign, will appear in the upper right corner drop the dragged item on top of that target desktop, and a new desktop will be created with that item in it. If you want to use more than those two default spaces, it’s simple to add a new one: In the Mission Control screen, drag a window or app towards the upper edge of the screen. Any apps you’re running inįull-screen mode become spaces unto themselves. (You can change Dashboard from a space into a desktop overlay-the way it appeared in Snow Leopard-in the Mission Control preference pane). By default, you have two of them: your Desktop and Dashboard. ![]() Above those application stacks you see a horizontal array of miniature desktops, representing all of the virtual workspaces you currently have open.
