If you talking about virtual desktop mode then there are 2 ways:
1. Use separate wineprefix for each app
2. Run programs that require virtual desktop mode with this command:

Code: Select all

wine explorer /desktop=wine_desktop,1024x768 app.exe

wow cool, i'll give that a try where do i add the prefix to short-cut cause what i have been doing is running it off my windows programs folder and my other games are on steam...wait that means steam will run in windows mode and my other games will normal that makes since, so long as i set steam to run in windowed. maybe i'll try making some modded short cuts on window partition in each programs directory.
