With the introduction of Spaces in Mac OS X Leopard, the community mourned the loss of Virtue, a wonderful virtual desktop manager for Panther and Tiger. However, Tony has been hard at work since December 2007 I’ve learned, bringing the features missing from Leopard’s virtual desktops implementation to Leopard with a new application called HyperSpaces.

HyperSpaces boasts such features as named spaces, desktop labels, different desktop pictures and desktop tinting. It makes heavy use of Leopards Core Animation and Core Image to beautifully let you organize your work. Currently in a private beta, check out the HyperSpaces website to register for a notification when HyperSpaces comes out in public beta shortly.
