For the default Unity desktop, there’s now a new tool, LSwitcher, which allows Ubuntu users to set different left launcher icons (pinned) for each workspace.<\/p>\n

LSwitcher (Unity LauncherSwitcher) is a script running silently on the background. It automatically remembers the pinned applications’ icons on the Unity Launcher for each workspace and changes the Launcher when you switch between workspaces. <\/p>\n

The tool is still at a very early stage\uff0c it only changes pinned icons when you switch between workspaces. Not work for unpinned icons even though there are opened on different workspaces.<\/p>\n
