Different background for each workspace?

[garolou]

Yes there is a small delay for the image to load after the workspace switch (less than a second on my system). The script and wallpapoz work at the command line level - the current desktop image is replaced by another one. For a minimal delay switch, the images probably would be stored in memory but that probably requires some coding at a lower level which is beyond my knowledge. Things change fast, maybe some Mint developper will look into this and a solution will appear soon.
In the meantime I can live with a small delay for a non-critical feature.

That what I thought
I'm not a programer at all (except a basic cumputer class in tech college, PREMSwindows era, was MSDOS tho)
I feel old

If it will make you feel any better, my BASIC class was on a TRS-80 Model III... We were fancy because one of our computers had two
720Mb floppy drives.

P.S went thru Amigaland to BEOS (actually Win 95 played back to BEOS) Back to Windowsworld finally Linux (I think desktop Linux was pretty new/geeky)

Sorry long-winded (off topic and nostalgic) (had birthday month ago ) Had older friend had one of those cassette/storage things.

I'm the original poster. I have LMDE 64 bit with MATE.
I downloaded and installed Wallpapoz, and I can run the GUI.
I have defined a directory of images for each workspace, and I saved my changes.
Then I clicked Daemon->restart. I change workspaces and the background stays the same.
The image is supposed to change after one minute, but it does not.
What obvious thing am I missing? The background I get is the same one I had before,
which was selected by issuing the command: mate-appearance-properties %F

Thanks in advance.

sorry away doing other things for few days...

have you saved changes before restart daemon?
only one monitor/display? or have external monitor hooked to laptop ect.?
on mate I have not used since very early version (was very gnome2 compatible) I'll try on newer (1.4 version) of mate

P.S. the first wallpaper will be your 'wallpaper set in mate preferences' the 'walpapoz' ones doesn't take effect till the 1st change to a different desktop (& back). (you can get around that by setting wallpaper the same as 1st in walpapoz the same)

Sorry...

can't get work on current mate (1.4) May be code just needs new name for packages? (I'm not a coder unfortunately)

Does work on LMDE (Xfce) 4.10 (currently using) 4.6 & 4.8 and Hopefully 4.12 when out. also Debians based on squeeze (still gnome2) repos such as 'solus,snow3 ect.

J.Jay
P.S. I use walpapoz 0.6.2 (I think not being worked on anymore)
