Walkpaper

About:

Have a different wallpaper on each GNOME workspace.

Installation:

Compile the extension by running

    # make all

Install walkpaper.zip using Tweak Tool and restart GNOME Shell (alt+F2 + 'r').

At this point you have two options:

You can either open extension's preferences and set paths to each workspace's wallpaper by double clicking on a specific row or use the default wallpaper changing method in GNOME settings.

More about the second method:

To set the background image for a workspace, switch to that workspace and use any method to change the background E.g. standard background chooser (e.g. secondary click on background, "Change Background"), then close the backgrounds dialog (otherwise trying to set background on another workspace may trigger a workspace change back to the WS with the dialog)

You can even use another extension or program that changes the backgrounds automatically.

Switch away from the workspace to trigger saving the current background.

Remember that you can always manage your extensions from https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
