Standard Apple "embrace and reduce". It reproduces the core function of TotalSpaces and all the space managers that came before, but with a reduced feature set. No grid, less control of transitions and key bindings.

Hyperspaces works with Apple’s Apple Spaces to let you customize each Space so that it’s recognizably different from the others. It does this through a set of great visual decorations.
