RFD: walkpaper integration #55

Open rkitover opened 6 years ago

rkitover commented 6 years ago

There is an extension called walkpaper that changes the background for each workspace when you switch workspaces:

https://github.com/BlinkBP/walkpaper

would it be worthwhile to work on supporting this in desk-changer, so that each workspace gets a new wallpaper at the interval?

Or would it be better to wait until gnome has intrinsic support for different workspace backgrounds, assuming it doesn't right now?

I think I've looked at this extension before... it works off of several signals. desk-changer could read these signal and force check the interval somehow when the workspace is changed. This would also require changes to the profile area for workspace support and tracking. Currently with the daemon written in python, this is harder to implement. I've been working on a pure JS implementation, so once I'm back at that, I'll look to making this a possibility. Thanks, and if you'd like to provide a pull request for the python daemon in the mean time, feel free!
