14 DAY TRIAL // The addition of multiple desktops in Windows 10 came as a big surprise for many, especially because users have been requesting this feature since a few years ago.
While most of the other operating systems out there received such an option a long time ago, Windows lacked this capability, but Microsoft is finally working to score in this regard with the upcoming Windows 10.
As a result, the first testing builds of Windows 10 came with their own multiple desktops options, thus allowing users to manage their running apps in a much more effective manner.
At first glance, the multiple desktops tool is quite basic, but there’s no doubt that at this point this particular feature is still in development stage and a lot of new options are going to be added in future updates. Needless to say, user feedback is also playing a key role in this, especially thanks to Microsoft’s intention of getting closer to customers. But what exactly do users want for multiple desktops?
Different wallpapers and labels
At this point, the feedback app implemented in Windows 10 points to two different improvements that users want to see in the final version of the operating system (and given the big number of votes, chances are that they are actually going to be implemented): different wallpapers and labels.
Users who submitted feedback in this regard claim that these two options could help them manage desktops better because this way they could name each desktop and add a wallpaper to better differentiate them.
“The ability to add a label to each desktop would help distinguish between them,” nearly 300 users said when asked about ways to improve multiple desktops.
“It would be nice to be able to have separate desktop backgrounds so you can easily tell where you are,” about 100 users said.
Such improvements very likely
Probably the best thing about this feedback platform is that Microsoft is really keen on addressing user suggestions, so these improvements are very likely to be made to Windows 10.
Capabilities to add wallpapers to each desktop and name them separately are expected to be added in the next few testing builds of Windows 10, and until the final version of the operating system comes out, they should be ready for end users as well.
Of course, Microsoft is also preparing its very own features to improve multiple desktops, but there’s no doubt that implementing the settings that users want most is critical for the success of Windows 10.
