This month we focus on the desktop: what it can do for you, what you should do with it, and how you can make it prettier, easier to use, and more secure. The WPS truly is one of Warp's most advanced and most powerful features, but at the same time, it is sometimes feared and often under-utilized. "No more!" we say. Hopefully in the following pages you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know about the desktop.

We've also reviewed various desktop add-ons. As usual, we've taken a look at both commercial and shareware options in an attempt to bring you the best of both worlds. Read on!
