A saved session can be restored to any desktop later.

### DesktopGrid – arrange your windows on the grid

DesktopGrid helps you place windows precisely on the grid (with or without gap).  
Configurable settings:

- columns
- rows
- gap between windows

DesktopGrid takes into account the margins set by the window manager. If margins are used, it is worth turning off the show\_outer\_gap option

### Window management improvements

**Click to move windows on the grid**  
With Ctrl-Shift-LeftClick on the appropriate area of the window you can snap it in a given direction. Works with active and inactive windows.

**DirectionalCycleWindows** actions  
In addition to the usual Alt-Tab, you can now quickly switch between windows with Ctrl-Shift-Arrows.  
Focus moves in the direction of the arrows.  
Useful especially if you work in many windows on your desktop.

### Wallpaper and Screenlocker

New menu for configuring wallpapers and screen lock.

- **Wallpaper slideshow** is to change wallpapers from a directory, never using the same picture twice until all the pictures have been shown, and rotating x number of seconds (configurable) before the next wallpaper change. Based on idea from [forum post](https://forum.maboxlinux.org/t/chwp-desktop-wallpaper-changer/496) by Shwaybo.
- Choose wallpaper is another way for setting wallpaper
- options for configure **ScreenLocker** with a few effects. Use _Cache current wallpaper for ScreenLock_ if you want to use dim, blur, dimblur or pixel effect. (for faster loading)
