== Different wallpaper on every workspace ==<br />
<br />
A different background for each workspace might be desired to provide orientation, to easily know which [[desktop]] you are on. A script is given here: [http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/18034/a-way-to-have-per-desktop-or-random-wallpapers-in-openbox/ A way to have per desktop or random wallpapers in Openbox]. Add to autostart.sh. There may be an issue with resource usage, depending how often you switch desktops.<br />
<br />
Some older, sometimes incomplete solutions, in case the above isn't what is needed:<br />
* [http://icculus.org/pipermail/openbox/2009-April/006160.html Set different background images per virtual desktop]. "have a desktop type window on each desktop that simply displayed whatever you wanted, and it would have that effect"<br />
* [http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/146107/#p146107 Using feh]. <br />
* [http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/147331/#p147331 Using conky] (same thread as the feh idea). This will only change the wallpaper when conky updates, and it will update every time conky updates, adding to CPU usage. (There is a [suggestion] to use the $execi or $texeci command to check whether the desktop is the same as when last checked, hopefully using less resources, but no code is given.{<br />
* [http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/4538/different-wallpaper-on-every-workspace-solved/ Different wallpaper on every workspace - solved] - works for keyboard combinations, not for changing desktop by mouse.<br />
