Applets

- emergeCommand
- emergeCore
- emergeDesktop
- emergeHotkeys
- emergeLauncher
- emergeTasks
- emergeTray
- emergeVWM
Each applet is intended to replace or expand functions of the standard Windows interface ( Windows Explorer ) and offers various settings and display options.

EmergeVWM
Virtual workspaces have long been known in Unix-like systems . There are also some Virtual Window Managers (VWM) for Microsoft Windows; and Emerge Desktop brings its own VWM with this applet.
