Created attachment 114772 [details] [review] Patch to add per workspace configuration
How would you change the default background? I.e. the one that's used when a new workspace is added.
The default background is still fetched from the schema without the workspace number in the gconf path, so the default background is whatever the schema is set to which is the same as the current behaviour.
FWIW, I'm not 100% convinced it's the right way to go. But this is more like a feeling. I find it weird that users of GnomeBG have to track the workspace changes.
Is this still being worked on? It seems like a often requested feature and if it's died, either it should be revived or a new attempt should be started. I was just wondering if this is going to go forward?
Hm. I would be interested in the outcoming of that thing as well... Any news? Could the assignee please speak up or remove him/herself as asignee?
Indeed, this is an oft requested feature: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/93/ Please provide status update and/or reassign.
I really need this feature in my gnome desktop. And I am not alone. Please implement this.
I need this feature too, I not only me, many people around the world asking for this - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/452/
In GNOME 3.8, gnome-shell is the sole component drawing the background. Any "background per workspace" work should go there, probably in an extension.
