Description 
In Windows, the desktop space is the area inside the MDI window (sometimes referred to as the client area). This doesn’t include any virtual space available through the scrolling of the MDI window.
In OS X, the desktop space is the area on the monitor in which the active window is located excluding menu bars.
In FileMaker WebDirect, the desktop space is the area on the main monitor. In OS X, the main monitor is where the menu bar is located. In Windows, the main monitor is where the taskbar is located.
