[Gambas-user] Test Screen.Available values

[Mayost Sharon]

Hello

Maybe I didn't understand you

1. Desktop.Count returns me 3
2. I checked your project and it works well for me with 3 desktops
When I give it a time of 15 seconds and then I switch to the second or third desktop and it captures the screen of the desktop well
