# The desktop
- [Notch and corners](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/desktop/notch-and-corners): hide the notch in a black menu bar, and round the corners below it.
- [Spaces](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/desktop/spaces): a picture per space, or one everywhere.
- [Grain and a title](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/desktop/grain-and-title): film grain, and your computer's name in the middle.
- [Lock screen motion](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/desktop/lock-screen): your picture moving while the Mac is locked, settling as you unlock.

While it runs, Undertone keeps its picture on every display: switching spaces, waking the Mac or connecting a display
shows the right picture, and if another app sets one, Undertone's comes back at its next look (within half a minute).
**Pause** in the menu leaves the desktop alone.
Each display gets a picture drawn at its own resolution and shape, so a laptop and an external display show the
same picture without stretching.
