First of all, I like dexpot. It's the only virtual desktop application on windows that comes close to what I need.
In my current setup, I use the preview vertically, with icon apps and auto-hide enabled on the right side of my screen.
I don't understand why there are two separate 'plugins' for doing the same things, named in the title.
The manager allows me to add a new button and scroll through the desktops with the mouse wheel, and the preview allows application preview and moving applications around. Why not merge them?
I'd really like something like the desktop preview, with support for switching with the mouse wheel, and live preview like sevendex (window sketches doesn't really look good, that's why I use icons).
The cherry on top of the ice would be a vertical scrolling animation (like in gnome 3), I can't reproduce that with the animations plugin because it doesn't have a setting for the layout (I'd like it vertical), and it's also missing an animation that just "slides" to the target desktop.
Now I'd try writing my own plugin for that, but I haven't found any references or even a community made plugin, so I guess plugins are only made by the dexpot developers themselves.
