TUAW Tip: Assigning apps to Spaces

How about wanting an app on all spaces when I have my second screen plugged in and not when I dont.
So far I have to manually change it back and forth, any quick way around that?

spaces is great for applications, but is there anything out there where you organize projects into spaces? if i'm working on two projects that use photoshop, i want some of those photoshop windows to be in space 1 and some of them in space 2. not the entire application, just open windows in that appliation that i designate.

Is there a way to make iChat stop stealing focus when you have it assigned to a specific space and then someone IMs you. I love spaces, but that ruins for me.

Here's a cool tip, add the finder to all spaces. You have to find the finder in core services (or w/e it's called), though, since it's not under Applications.

It took me a while to discover this, maybe I'm just slow ;)

But you can assign Finder and more importantly, imo, Screen Sharing to a Space by adding the relevant application from /System/Library/CoreServices/ to Spaces in System Preferences.

Adam and P Stuart - the solution you're looking for might be to select Every Space in the Applications Assignments box - click the arrow in the Spaces column

Well, Spaces is flawed.
Quite a few applications just won't stick to a desktop. Even though with Virtuedesks they did.
I'm not sure who to blame, but I think it's a bug in spaces, and not so much the application.

I've been an OS X user for over a year now and had been following Apple for a year before that. And I got Leopard soon after its release. This is the first time I've heard of that little feature. Before this I quit using spaces because of what I thought was the lack of that feature. Not sure it's Mac 101, but Mac 102: For the Oblivious :P

Another question. When you activate Spaces, the background image of each Space is a blue gradient. Is there a hack to change the gradient or tell it to use a certain image?

Here is a much more challenging question: Most people already know that you can assign an application to a single space. Not as many know that you can assign an application to appear in every space. No one that I know is aware of how to assign iCal to one space but have iCal alarms appear in every space. I want to have iCal assigned to just one space, but I want the iCal alarms to show up in every space so that I will see them regardless of the space I happen to be working in. Any experts out there know how to do this?
