Product Description:

Deviant is a menu extra that allows you to link the current desktop to any folder, effectively swapping the items on your desktop.

Notes:

Requires a 3rd party menu extra enabler like MenuCracker or Menu Extra Enabler
Applications need to be relaunched to use the new desktop folder, otherwise they will use the one active when they were initially launched.
Taking screenshots is tricky. They will fail if the desktop is a link rather than a folder, but there are a few workarounds in the Read Me.

What's new in this version:

Menu icons
Added auto-restore on load
Tracking of old desktop folder

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
3rd Party Menu Extra Enabler

CodeTek's implementation is the best one for OS X. I think they're doing a fine job. I beta tested this app, and bought it a few months ago. This revision also works well for me.<br>It would be cool to have preference which allowed VirtualDesktop change your desktop folder as well, until it's added, I recommend <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18053">Deviant menu</a> for switching your desktop folders around.

be boxed in?" could be a motto...It's like having multiple desks or cabinets in your room (instead of having to dig through folders of folders). A request would be to (instead or in addition to the menu bar) be able to activate a folder as a desktop by opening a contextual menu from the item (the original desktop could itself be reverted to (or other recent desktop choices) by control-clicking anywhere on the desktop sheet and selecting the choice for desktop folder from the menu). Speeding up the switching if at all possible would be ideal too, though I can't complain now. And thanks for it being free.
