Mac OS Spaces… Y U SO SHIT ON MULTISCREEN!?!
Title explains all, methinks.
I love Spaces on Mac OS. Really, really love, but I have one little (but actually quite significant) hangup about them. When you’ve got more than one screen connected, the way they work is just downright crap.
For a brief explanation to anyone who doesn’t have a Mac/doesn’t use Mac OS, this is what spaces are: (Hopefully, I haven’t disclosed too much from this screenie…)
When you connect another monitor, the behaviour I would expect is something along these lines:-
- You’ve shown a list of screens and a list of spaces. You can drag any space to a screen.
- You can drag one space to multiple monitors.
- Perhaps drag a space across multiple displays at once to make it a double/triple/whatever width space.
This is not the behaviour I receive. This irritates me.
The behaviour which I do receive:-
- Spaces are double/triple/whatever width.
- Spaces move on all monitors if changed on one.
- If app is in full screen, it displays only on the primary monitor and the rest of the monitors show the lovely background of Mission Control, effectively making paperweights out of my two £1000 Thunderbolt Displays. (The two displays I wish I had, not the ones I do have… I don’t actually have any. :( If you feel like buying me one or two, please go ahead… :P)
It is wrong at the moment. Fix it please, Apple. There are very, very few design mistakes in Mac OS, but this is definitely one of them. Fix it.

Ditch OS X? ;-)
Though from what I’ve seen, how windows were managed used to work better in SL than Lion.
