Multiple desktops

Projects in Squeak are a kind of hierarchical multiple-desktop setup, where subprojects of a project are displayed as thumbnails in little windows on the desktop, which when clicked, enter the displayed subproject. The main desktop menu allows you to navigate among all the projects in the image.

Use of projects

A suggestion how to use projects: You might have a project called 'X' and then another project called 'X explanations' where you keep the explanations (open browsers, workspaces and notes about project 'X'). And maybe a third project called 'X tests' where tests are constructed.

[2] Squeak 3.8.1 release notes
Projects are separate worlds within Squeak, similar to pages on the Internet. In fact active projects can be shared over the internet just like web pages. We have included a number of demonstration projects in the 'Worlds of Squeak' window. Other projects may be found by selecting the 'FIND' button under the Navigator tab at the bottom of the screen.
