I know this has been asked to death, but I can't get it to work. I'm trying to have multiple wallpapers (one different wallpaper per workspace) and I've done the whole Compiz wallpaper plugin set the images and then use Advanced Settings to have File Manager handle the desktop. And I still only get the one wallpaper I have set in system preferences.



Also it's worth mentioning that I'm using GNOME Shell, not Unity.

I'm using GNOME Shell




GNOME Shell uses Mutter not Compiz for its window manager & effects.



Thus this Q&A will not apply to you:





GNOME Shell does not accept Compiz effects - nor can you use Compiz as an alternative to mutter.



GNOME Shell workspaces are by design "static" with a single wallpaper serving all workspaces.



There are some potential ideas to give subtle variations in workspaces:





A YouTube video gives a mock-up of what this could look like:

The video talks about subtle variations in the workspace colours/overlays - not outright different wallpapers.



As you can see - these are ideas - whether this will turn into reality is speculation.
