You might want to take a look at a new tool called Tabbery if any of the following describes you:
- you hate having to constantly move desktop windows out of the way to see other ones;
- you sometimes wish you could save your current set-up of files, webpages, etc. for easy access;
- you ever want to share your current desktop files or webpages with someone else.
Tabbery lets you do all that and more. Here's a snippet from the Tabbery website:
Tabbery lets you organize your work into virtual desktop tabs, which can be saved, shared with others, or posted online. Each desktop tab is saved as one small file, capable of re-launching the entire desktop and its contents - on any computer! Best of all... it's free!
In its current form, Tabbery is one of those tools I think individual users will either love or hate. It likes to sit at the top of your screen, where it hides until you move the cursor into its area. Then up it pops. As an alternative, you can run it undocked, but then other things jump in front of it so you lose its primary benefit - convenient access to all your stuff.
I liked it a lot better once I edited Personalize -> Behavior and chose the option to have it simply appear rather than slide down. It got even better after I verified I could left-click at the bottom of it and drag upward, reducing the amount of space it took on my screen.
It looks like they're still taking requirements for further development, so maybe future iterations will offer even more customization options.
There's a short video on the Tabbery website that will give you enough information to decide whether you want to give it a closer look.
