  1. Virtual Desktop Background issues


    Hi All, So I created separate backgrounds for my seven desktops. I edited pretty pictures with text in the corner to let me know which desktop I'm on. But even though I right click and change the background for one of them, it will appear on two or three of them overwriting, essentially, the other backgrounds. It seems basically if I save the background for one it saves it over two or three other desktops too. Anyone know of a fix? Sorry can't do a screen shot of them all as have too many programs open. but showing below, saving one background to one desktop overwrite another desktop backgr

    :)

  3. 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

    Virtual Desktop Background issues

    Lost desktop background

    I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

    Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
