I use 4 desktops and started playing with Compiz, how can I get each desktop to have it's own wallpaper?
Read through one guide on here and it didn't work for my setup, tried google but not satisfied with answers there.
Thank you.
Using the guide below this, I can't see anyway to set up the wallpapers, only the caps on the cube.
To have different wallpapers for each desktop, follow these steps:
I. Disable "show desktop" in Nautilus
1. ALT+F2
2. gconf-editor
3. Apps --> Nautilus --> Preferences
4. Untick "show desktop"
II. Install Compiz Fusion
1. In Terminal, input the following:
Code:
sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
2. Exit Terminal
III. Select your desktop wallpaper
1. System --> Preferences --> Advanced Desktop Settings
2. Tick "Desktop Cube" and opt to disable desktop wall if prompted
3. Tick "Rotate Cube"
4. Select "Desktop Cube"
5. Click "Appearance" tab
6. Click "Add" under the "Background Images" field
7. Browse for your desired wallpaper(s), ordering them based on which face of the cube you want them to appear
