How to achieve 'Activities' in Unity?
- by Ralf Hersel
I like the concept of an activities centric desktop and I wonder if this can be achieved in Unity. For me, an activity is a couple of applications that belong to the same subject, like 'photo manipulation', 'software development', 'office work', 'social activities', 'music and video'. I would like to utilize the virtual desktops to arrange applications that belong to the same activity group.
Example:
Desktop 1 contains all applications that belong to 'office work'
Desktop 2 contains all applications that I need for 'software development'
Desktop 3 contains all applications that I usually need for 'photo works'
Therefore I would like to give names to the virtual desktops that reflect their purpose. And I would like Unity to auto-start the required applications when I start my computer or when I switch to one of the virtual desktops.
Is this possible with Unity (or any other desktop)?
