   If you like Multi-tasking or Multi-tabling, you can use Spaces to organize your computer tasks in up to 16 spaces, and get organized. It’s like having multiple desktops working together, but not mixed up. While playing at different tables from your Mac, Spaces can work as dynamic desktops that automatically switch when it is your turn to act. You won’t even need to manually organize your game windows next to each other or reduce their size.

   Instructions:

   1. Open your System Preferences, and select “Exposé & Spaces” 
   2. From the ‘Spaces” tab, you will be able to select a number of rows and columns for your spaces and assign shortcut keys to activate and switch between the different spaces. 
   3. Once you have Spaces set up, you can drag game windows and tasks from one space to the other, and even keep one table per desktop: All Windows If you would rather not use Spaces, but would still like to see all your Absolute Poker tables at once, you can use the “View All Windows” option. With this view, you don’t need a tile tables feature, but you can view all tables as the game goes on. For tips on how to activate this option, proceed with “Exposé” tips.

      While multi tasking, you don’t want to use features that are many clicks away, so open your Exposé options to Activate Screen Corners, and choose a corner for “All Windows”, “Spaces”, or any of the listed options there. Once you choose a corner, you will see the results by simply dragging your mouse to each one of the corners.
