Can I have more than 16 Desktop "Spaces" on Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

3

Is is possible to have more than 16 desktop "spaces" with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

I know that it does not seem possible at all from the System Preferences settings, but I was wondering if there exists some software tools that would enable one to use more Spaces, say 20-25.

try a google search for "OS X virtual desktop". I found this:

Looks like it might support up to 100 virtual desktops (so says the products page: http://www.codetek.com/products.php).

The setting is in Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist with the keys workspaces-cols and workspaces-rows, respectively.

Try to set it and then restart Dock. At least on my computer, however, values over four are ignored, so the following procedure should not really help:

defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-cols 5
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-cols 5

and then

killall Dock
