Dock showing on other virtual desktops

Hello,

Is it possible to disable showing Dock on multiple virtual desktops? I'm using free version, but maybe it's possible on other versions or not at all?

Not currently, sorry.

Not that it's actually even worth the effort changing, given the multifarious problems of VDs under Windows. Win's own VD's are perhaps the least problematic. I tried VDs extensively here in the past, all the various 3rd party ones as well as Win's own, and they all had all sorts of problems. Gave up on that shite long ago.

VDs under Windows, like any kind of VDs, best avoided altogether.

Not sure what problems do you mean, not really experiencing much, except laggy animation and not being able to move new desktops to the far left, but it works very well besides that. I usually use apps fullscreen on other vds, and when dock is set to hide on fullscreen apps, it has this annoying hiding animation, instead of not showing it at all when I switch to different vd with fullscreen app on it.

One of the major problems I recall is/was that if you had icons on the desktop, these would get repositioned completely out of order, and/or lose icons. Another was links in the Windows Start Menu going AWOL, as well as in Nextstart. There were a bunch of other issues, but I can't remember them now. It is of course quite possible that these problems were ironed out in the meantime although I'm inclined to doubt it.

Okay I see, not sure about start menu as I don't use it, but that desktop icons thing was already fixed.
