I'll tell you how I did it. In the upper right corner of the desktop, there is a plasmoid to zoom out. When I zoom out, I can see 4 desktops on my screen. I click on the first desktop with the right mouse button, choose desktop settings, and select a wallpaper. Then I save my changes. Then, with the 4 desktops still zoomed out, I click with the right mouse button on the second desktop, set the wallpaper, save. Same for desktop 3 and 4.
That's how I made the screenshot that I sent earlier.
I think we have a difference in terminology in this thread. Workspaces vs Desktops. In KDE3 we had "Desktops". We still have them in KDE4. systemsettings -> Desktop -> Multiple Desktops Lets stick with calling those desktops. So. pick any one of the four plasmoid-things - lets call them "workspaces" - and you still have 4 desktops in each of them. Suppose you put (and label them as such in Systemsettings) Desktop 1 - Mail Desktop 2 - Web browser Desktop 3 - File browser (Dolphin?) Desktop 4 - Terminal then these exist in each of the "workspaces". The "workspace" defines the wallpaper. Under KDE3 I don't have the plasmoid/workspaces but I can set a different wallpaper for each _Desktop_. Under KDE4 I can't Q.E.D. As I said, its a matter of terminology. If you call the things defined in 'systemsettings' "Desktops" then no, you can't set a different wallpaper for each desktop in KDE4 at present. I notice in the graphic you posted that the "panel" has a two-row "pager" plasmoid - the little "four square" wire-frame. So in addition to the four "workspaces" you also have four "desktops" that appear in each workspace. You could assign names and alter the "pager" options to show the names. I have just verified all of the above by doing it. What this means is that you are both right - but you are using "Desktop" to mean different things. If you right-click on the top of an application window you will get a pull-down that has an option "Desktop". This can be used to move the window to another Desktop - mail/web/files/terminal in my example. If you do you'll find it still has the same background in KDE4 but can have a different one in KDE3. This is one reason I'm using the "Desktop" in this context and "Workspace" in the other. If you know of a way to bind an application to what I have termed a "workspace" I'd be interested in hearing about it. -- "The number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
