Virtual Desktop Indicator

A Windows tray app that always shows your current virtual desktop as a translucent on-screen overlay and lets you jump straight to any desktop with custom hotkeys. A separate Linux/X11 build offers the same features.

Features

• Translucent, click-through overlay showing current / total desktop-name
• Overlay follows you across every virtual desktop (pinned to all desktops)
• Optional indicator on every monitor
• Jump to a desktop with Ctrl+Alt+1…Ctrl+Alt+9 (fully rebindable)
• Configurable position, opacity, font size, colors, and hotkeys
• Two switching modes: smooth native animation (default) or instant direct jump — see Desktop Switching
• Tray menu + settings window; shows the current version
• Update check via GitHub Releases (plain-exe build); the Microsoft Store build updates through the Store

Quick links

• Installation — Windows installer, Microsoft Store, Linux, from source
• Configuration — config.json reference, hotkeys, tray menu, settings
• Desktop Switching — smooth vs. direct, and why far jumps behave differently
• Troubleshooting — hotkeys, flicker, stepping, multi-monitor
• Building & Releasing — build from source, installer, release workflow
• Microsoft Store (MSIX) — packaging the app for the Store
