Well, I have 8 desktops, and I should put 7 widgets on each desktop to be able to reach every desktop from each one: It's a waste of space (I use many widgets, I'm in lack of space... :) )

A statusbar plugin could let me keep more order on my desktops...

The button images are thumbnails of the desktops themselves. I have made them specialized and different enough to be easily recognizable.

I love the new system, I was bored with swiping this way and that to find my stuff :-)

Once again thanks to Nicolai for this very neat widget !

Define a "home" desktop with 7 links to the others, and put one link to "home" on each of the 7 others.

Problem solved, two clicks max from any desktop to the other. Very fast, especially with widgets in "fast" mode :-)

Actually, I don't really like this solution... :p

Maybe is time for me to try to do it by myself instead of keep asking...if only I had more free time...Anyway, great screens!

Your choice, of course :-)

However, I found that with careful placement of icons (same spot on each screen), it takes all of 30 seconds to get used to it, and afterwards it becomes an efficient and pleasant way to navigate the desktops.

I made som "Android looking-switcher" Bright dot for selected desktop e.c.

Edit:
It would be awesome if you implanted "active" and "pressed" images, then we don't need "wallpaper-hacks" to show selected wallpapers and also can get some nice pressing effects on the buttons.

Also thanks very much for this widget, I love it already.
