摘要： A desktop switcher provides equally convenient user interface navigational access to remote virtual desktops as to local virtual desktops for reliable and convenient human-computer interaction. Underlying mechanisms transparently confirm remote computer availability and compatibility, transfer thumbnails between computers, and support remoting sessions. Virtual desktops may share a clipboard, a geographic location setting, and application thumbnails, despite being based on computers that are remote from one another, e.g., when only one of a session's computers resides in a cloud. Virtual desktop context menus may be shown and utilized remotely. A visual separator in the desktop switcher may distinguish local virtual desktops from remote virtual desktops.

摘要： Techniques to control addition of representations to an application launcher are described. In one or more implementations, an input is received by a computing device to add a representation of an application or content to the application launcher of the computing device. The application launcher has a plurality of representations of applications or content that are selectable to navigate to a user interface corresponding with a respective application or content and are assigned into respective ones of a plurality of groups that together compose a plurality of linear arrangements of the groups. A location is controlled by the computing device at which to include the added representation in the application launcher based at least in part a determination of whether one of the plurality of groups is associated with a positional tag.

摘要： According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may, responsive to a secondary display being detected, cause a window including an option for a user to proceed with a location detection operation of the secondary display to be displayed on a primary display. The processor may also cause an icon to be displayed on the secondary display, track a movement of a cursor from the primary display to the icon displayed on the secondary display, and determine a position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display based on the tracked movement of the cursor. The processor may further store the determined position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display.
