## Installation

Download zip file from latest release: [Releases](https://github.com/collinmurch/macos-spaces/releases/)

After downloading, unzip and place application in /Applications.

I haven't gotten it signed yet, so you also have to go to System Preferences and allow apps from all developers.

_Optional:_ Add as a login item for your user in System Preferences to open on startup.

## Known Issues

* When changing the order of desktop spaces, macos-spaces can take several minutes to recognize that a change in the order has taken place

* Multi-monitor support may or may not work

Thanks to: [WhichSpace](https://github.com/gechr/WhichSpace), for demonstrating how to observe when dark mode is switched to light mode and vice-versa.
