  2. Different Background for Multiple Desktops

    No, there is currently no built-in support for a different background for each virtual desktop. Upvoting feedback upon that is a good plan.

  4. Still cannot have different backgrounds for Virtual Desktops

    Global Background for all virtual Desktops

    Hello people

    Separate backgrounds for every virtual Desktop is causing issues with wallpaper engine and I want a global background for every virtual Desktop. So basically when changing the background, that the background for every Desktop is changed. Global changes, is that possible?

    Cheers
