| 16:06:49 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur (@geekosaur:matrix.org)> with xmonad, there's really only one workspace background; you need to use something like https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Hooks-WallpaperSetter.html to switch the wallpaper per workspace |

| 17:17:43 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> geekosaur: Thanks. Will try it. |
| 17:22:15 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> I just put defWallpaperConf. Probably my laptop is too slow for this (I mean, it takes 30 sec for firefox to open the first time). When I switch to a workspace, I see the previous one's wallpaper for a millisec and only then do I see the current one's wallpaper. |
| 17:22:50 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> * half a sec |

| 18:07:37 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> The delay can be less of an annoyance if its possible to not switch to the WS until the wallpaper is loaded, as opposed to switch to WS and then load wallpaper. |
| 18:07:39 | <haskellbridge> | Don't mind me if I'm asking for the wrong thing. ☮️ |
| 18:10:59 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> +Or if its possible to skip showing the wallpaper of the WS we're switched from. |

| 20:59:26 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur (@geekosaur:matrix.org)> the only way to get the behavior you're used to is to run a file manager which creates per-workspace backdrop windows on which wallpapers can be loaded. it'll always behave a bit annoyingly when drawn on the root window directly |
| 21:00:00 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur (@geekosaur:matrix.org)> and, well, xmonad is minimalist, it doesn't do fancy stuff like that and can't easily be made to |
| 21:00:22 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur (@geekosaur:matrix.org)> we can manage such windows if something else creates and manages them, though |
| 21:01:48 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur (@geekosaur:matrix.org)> (the second "manage" there is in the window manager sense, as EWMH specifies that backing windows and docks are app-managed. the first basically means we keep the window from drifting upward over other windows, and that's it, since EWMH gives everything else to the app to deal with) |
| 21:06:36 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> Hmm... |
| 21:07:54 | <haskellbridge> | <nemme> Cool |
| 21:37:41 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur> (is this behaving a little better?) |
| 21:37:45 | <haskellbridge> | <geekosaur> ah, good |
