Every day I seem to discover yet another way to switch between Spaces in Leopard. Apple has really done an amazing job at making Spaces work how you want it to work, while keeping most of the features from interfering with your workflow.
To switch between Spaces through the Menu Bar, begin by launching System Preferences. Under the “Personal” heading, select “Exposé & Spaces,” and then switch to “Spaces.” Once “Spaces” is enabled (by checking the box next to “Enable Spaces”), check the rightmost box for “Show Spaces in menu bar.”
Now, a little icon will appear in the menu bar, with a number in the center and two lines splitting the box into four smaller ones. The number in the icon represents the space you are currently occupying. To switch to another one, simply click the icon and select the space you want to switch to by clicking on or typing its number. This is also a good way to quickly access the preferences for Spaces. You can also move the menu bar icon around by holding Command and dragging it around. To remove it, simply hold Command and drag it off the menu bar.

( there's others that use alot more spaces im assuming). My suggestion is is there a way too assign a name to a number? For example.
1. applications 2. audio 3. adobe design apps and so forth. So that way when we click on the spaces icon we won't be clicking all over the place. And create confusion. I know there's other ways too activate spaces but what if those buttons are designated too something else. Does anyone know of such a solution. If so, i welcome ideas. Thanks
