I have four workspaces (actually only use two at any given time) that I scroll through fairly often. Is it possible for each workspace to have its own appearance ie: its own wallpaper, short icons, etc?

Re: Unique Desktops per Workspace
To my knowledge No, as currently you are using cinnamon and that will be your desktop environment for that current session. But you can use different desktop environment (if you installed them but IMO this lead to instability) and can be selected during login
Yes, please right click on empty space on your desktop and navigate to
Desktop Settings..., select whatever wallpaper you like then uncheck "Apply to all workspaces"Repeat to all workspaces
To my knowledge No, your icons is set on
Appearance --> Icons and do vary only on user to user cases

Re: Unique Desktops per Workspace
When a right click on my desktop there is no option called "Desktop Settings". The closer one would be Display Settings, which is for a different thing. There is also a menu item called "Customize", which has a "Desktop Settings" link inside, however, it doesn't have a "Apply to all workspaces" option.Midnight True wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 30, 2023 2:01 amYes, please right click on empty space on your desktop and navigate toDesktop Settings..., select whatever wallpaper you like thenuncheck"Apply to all workspaces"
Repeat to all workspaces
