+Press the + button to open a dialog and choose the application you want to assign. Then choose the desktop you want to assign it to from the dropdown list. You can also choose **All spaces** if you would like an app to appear on all desktops.
+
+These assignments allow you to choose where apps start, but note that you may still move windows from desktop to desktop - for instance by dragging them in the [Overview Grid](/overview2 "Overview grid").

+title: Differences from TotalSpaces
+subtitle: How TotalSpaces2 is different from TotalSpaces
+---
+
+TotalSpaces2 is a substantial rewrite of TotalSpaces. It focuses on the grid, and the most important idea is that all spaces participate in the grid, whether regular desktops, fullscreens, or the dashboard.
+
+There is support for both multi-monitor modes provided by OSX Mavericks (Mission Control's "Displays have separate Spaces" setting), and a more active overview grid that allows you to move your spaces to where you want them.
+
+The space transitions have also been rewritten, and there is a new preferences pane for the layout allowing you to easily choose the grid you want.
+
+Here is a brief list of changes so you can review whether TotalSpaces2 will do everything you need. **Please download and test TotalSpaces2 before you pay for the upgrade.**
+
+* Everything in the grid - dashboard and fullscreen apps are part of the grid. Newly created fullscreens are added to the bottom of the grid, making a new row if needed.
+* Multi-monitor modes - respects the new "Displays have separate Spaces" setting. When displays have separate spaces there is a separate grid on each screen. When displays do not have separate spaces, TotalSpaces2 works the same as TotalSpaces did.
+* Spaces can freely be dragged into new positions in the overview grid.
+* New transition "Inside cube". Swap transition has been dropped in TotalSpaces2.
+* New whole grid zoom transition to the overview grid.
+* New hotkey setting for taking the current window with you when moving to an adjacent space.
+* Dragging an item to another space via a hotcorner and the overview grid can be done in TotalSpaces2 (just hover over the destination space).
+* No API at the present time, the API is being redesigned to support Mavericks.
+* For single row users, if you define just one row of spaces you can add additional empty columns, and they will be filled by fullscreen apps.
+* Notification graphic now smoothly floats above desktop transition.

+## TotalSpaces2 provides a grid of spaces on your Mac
+
+<img src="/images/grid-view.png">
+
+An easy to use 2D grid of desktops. Navigate using the cursor keys (by default together with SHIFT-ALT), choose your [transitions](/transitions2), and quickly access a [birds eye view](/overview2) of your grid of spaces where you can manage your application windows. You can even give your spaces names.
+
+Having a grid of spaces allows you to keep a mental picture of where each of your applications is, and to navigate easily and quickly between them.
+
+TotalSpaces2 lives in an icon in your menu bar, like this:
+
+<img src="/images/totalspaces-main-menu.png">
+
+From there, you can control TotalSpaces2, and access the preferences where you can [set up your grid](/layout2), name your spaces, and configure your desktops just how you like them.
+
+TotalSpaces2 allows you to easily navigate between your spaces, by [**swiping**](/swipe2), with [**hotkeys**](/hotkeys2), or by just moving your mouse the the edge of the screen in the direction you wish to move.
+
+You'll see a helpful notification as you move between your spaces.

+
+## <a id="system-requirements"></a>What systems will TotalSpaces2 run on?
+
+TotalSpaces2 is tested on **OSX Mavericks 10.9** and should work on any mac that can run this operating system. We also try to add support for new versions as soon as the betas are available.
+
+## <a id="finding-totalspaces"></a>Where is TotalSpaces2?
+
+TotalSpaces2 runs without an icon in the Dock, but instead an icon like this should appear in your menu bar.
+
+<img src="/images/menubar-icon.png">
+
+## <a id="menubar-icon"></a>Help, I can't see the menu bar icon!
+
+There is an option to hide the menu bar icon, and perhaps this is turned on for some reason. In order to re-show the menu bar icon, double click on TotalSpaces2 in your Applications folder (as if to launch the app). This should tell the app to show the menu bar icon again.
+
+## <a id="app-assignments"></a>How can I make a particular app stay on a particular desktop in the grid?
+
+You can now do this from the [Apps preferences](/apps)
+
+## <a id="uninstall"></a>How can I uninstall TotalSpaces2?
+
+Use [the uninstaller](http://downloads.binaryage.com/TotalSpaces2Uninstaller.zip).
+
+TotalSpaces2 is a normal app that can be dragged to the Trash, except for one additional file that must be removed from /Library/ScriptingAdditions.
+
+The uninstaller will remove this file along with the app itself, as well as restarting Dock so that no trace of TotalSpaces2 remains running in the system.
+
+Note: TotalSpaces2 is built on top of Mission Control. Underneath TotalSpaces2, the desktops are normal OSX desktops. The uninstaller will not remove any desktops you have created whilst running TotalSpaces2, you must adjust your desktops how you like them in Mission Control once you have uninstalled TotalSpaces2.
+**TotalSpaces does not make any changes whatsoever to the system software or to OSX - once you have uninstalled it the system will be running only the original OSX software.**
+
+Final note: If you wish to be super-clean you can also remove the preferences files in ~/Library/Preferences/com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.binaryage.totalspacescrashwatcher.plist
+
+## <a id="diagonal-transitions"></a>Why are there no diagonal transitions?
+
+As we have rewritten the system transitions for TotalSpaces2, it may be that we can support diagonal transitions for some of the animations in the future.
+
+## <a id="growl-notifications"></a>How can I turn on growl notifications?
+
+Use this command at the command line:
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 sendGrowlNotifications YES</code>
+
+then restart TotalSpaces2.
+
+Note that once you have turned on the notifications, then you can fully control them with the Growl app.
+
+There are three types of notification, one on space change, one on circulation, and one for when you asked to change space but you were at the edge of the grid (and circulation was turned off). They may be useful to play sound effects while navigating your grid.
+
+## <a id="faster-transitions"></a>How can I make the transitions even faster than the slider allows?
+
+Use this command at the command line:
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 transitionSpeed 115</code>
+
+then restart TotalSpaces2. 
+
+The normal preferences slider goes to 110, but 130 is the hard limit; do not set it higher - anyway you won't even see the transitions at that speed. 
+
+Note that there is a small built in delay after you press the hotkey that is unavoidable with transitions - they take a little time to set up.
+
+## <a id="longer-notifications"></a>How can I make the notification graphic stay on the screen longer?
+
+You can use this command at the command line:
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 notificationDuration 1.0</code>
+
+then restart TotalSpaces2. 
+
+The value is in seconds, and should be between 0.25 and 3.0. The default value is 0.85.
+
+## <a id="mouse-edge-timings"></a>How can I adjust the mouse-at-edge switch timing?
+
+You can adjust the dwell and repeat period for triggering [space changes by bringing your mouse to the edge of the screen](/mouse-edges2).
+
+Here are the settings:
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 sideSwitchDelay 1.5</code>
+
+The range is 0.1 - 20.0, the default is 1.1 seconds. This setting also affects how quickly you can drag windows from desktop to desktop.
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 sideSwitchDelayWithModkeys 0.5</code>
+
+The range is 0.01 - 20.0, the default is 0.3 seconds.
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 sideSwitchRepeatDelay 1.2</code>
+
+The range is 0.5 - 3.5, the default is 1.0 seconds.
+
+Don't forget to restart TotalSpaces2 after you have changed these settings.
+
+## <a id="place-window-as-dropped"></a>How can I change window positioning when dragging windows in the overview grid
+
+Normally windows stay where you drop them in the overview grid, but pressing the ALT (option) key whilst dragging will cause the windows to retain their original position, so will be positioned as they were in the space the window came from.
+
+You can swap this behaviour so that keeping the position is the default, and pressing the ALT key will allow the to be dropped in an exact position by using this commend, then restarting TotalSpaces.
+
+<code>defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2 placeWindowsAsDroppedByDefault NO</code>
