Hello. Is it possible to have different screen resolution settings for each virtual desktop?

Example:
Desktop 1: 1024×768
Desktop 2: 800×600
and so on.

Thanks.

The default setting is win key + desktop number (1-4)

Right-click on the MSVDM and choose configure shortcut keys.

I don’t know. Microsoft doesn’t offer support for power toys. Please let me know if you do find a way to switch between desktops via your keyboard.

This is indeed a great powertoy; is it possible to switch between desktops via the keyboard, or do you know? Even MS is no help on this one and Google’s coming up dry, but if you know that might be helpful. (In KDE you can, by default, do Windows_key-Tab to switch.)

Thanks!
