Switching screen in Mac OS X

Hi, I wonder any of you know how to perform the following transition on Mac OS X, either with a shortcut, an apps or any way you can think of.

Doesn't need to have such "effect" as I've illustrated, I just need the ability to switch the screen among 2 or more displays. VirtualDesktop Pro, You Control Desktop & Spaces in Leopard will switch both screen to another "layer" of desktop instead of cycle / exchange among multiple displays as I'm understand.

thanks!

(a mistake on the image, the Apple menu & dock will stay on one of the screen, instead of both.)

I love this plugin. Have been using it for a while. It "eternally" extendable. Have had no problems, except when I'm working in Photoshop and I accidently hit the hotzones (area which activates screen swop) by accident, but those are customizable, so it's my own fault.

From the website:
Below are some of the key features of VirtueDesktops.

Virtual screens: an unlimited number of virtual screens at your disposal
Eye candy: exciting transitions and window fading
Universal binary: runs at full speed on your shiny new intel-based mac
AppleScript-able: script your desktop experience
Unobtrusive: VirtueDesktops does not clutter your desktop - it gets in, switches your virtual screen and then quietly hides itself, waiting for your next request
Extensible: install plugins to add additional features
Exposé: works well with Apple’s Exposé
Keeps you informed: notifications and current desktop display orient you as you work across multiple virtual screens
“Stick-ify” your windows or applications: Make your windows and applications visible across all of your virtual screens.

Hope this is what you want...

Francois.

Ps. I've just read your post again, you want to swop between monitors?
