Wallpaper-can it be changed with each workspace?

I was wondering if there's a way to change the wallpaper with each workspace. For example, workspace 1 has wallpaper A, workspace 2 has wallpaper B, ect. I have the Workspace Style plugin as well and it works great. Is there maybe a way to incorporate wallpapers with it? Or is there maybe a separate plug in/code/whatever to do this? Using BoxCore on Vista, btw, if that matters.

But Id still like to figure out why my wallpapers wont load from my style rc files. I have both bsetroot and bsetbg. both are in the blackbox folder. this is my entire code for one of my styles. im putting it all cause I think maybe there might be something else thats wrong? And not just the background part... Code: rootCommand: ! Automagically generated by bbstylemaker ! Stylefile for blackbox ! -- info -- style.name: blarga blue style.author: blockhead aka pcc style.date: feb 2004 style.credits: style.comments: black with sky blue ! -- background --rootCommand: bsetroot -f backgrounds\watchmen.png!-- toolbar -- toolbar: raised gradient diagonal toolbar.color: #3d3d3d toolbar.colorTo: #000000 toolbar.textColor: #00ff00 toolbar.justify: left toolbar.font: Astrolyte toolbar.label: raised bevel2 gradient pipecross toolbar.label.color: #000000 toolbar.label.colorTo: #383838 toolbar.label.textColor: #00ff00 toolbar.windowLabel: raised gradient diagonal toolbar.windowLabel.color: #000005 toolbar.windowLabel.colorTo: #000000 toolbar.windowLabel.textColor: #00ff00 toolbar.clock: raised gradient diagonal toolbar.clock.color: #000000 toolbar.clock.colorTo: #383838 toolbar.clock.textColor: #00ff00 toolbar.button: raised gradient diagonal toolbar.button.color: #03ff00 toolbar.button.colorTo: #000000 toolbar.button.picColor: #00ff00 toolbar.button.pressed: raised gradient pyramid toolbar.button.pressed.color: #00ff00 toolbar.button.pressed.colorTo: #00ff00 toolbar.button.pressed.picColor: #000000 ! -- menu -- menu.title: raised gradient vertical menu.title.color: #026401 menu.title.colorTo: #171717 menu.title.textColor: #00ff00 menu.title.justify: left menu.title.font: Astrolyte menu.title.fontHeight: 14 menu.frame: raised gradient diagonal menu.frame.color: #000000 menu.frame.colorTo: #000000 menu.frame.textColor: #00ff00 menu.frame.justify: left menu.frame.font: Astrolyte menu.hilite: raised gradient diagonal menu.hilite.color: #0fff04 menu.hilite.colorTo: #000000 menu.hilite.textColor: #d9d9d9 menu.bullet: empty menu.bullet.position: right ! -- window -- window.title.focus: raised gradient diagonal window.title.focus.color: #545454 window.title.focus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.label.focus: raised gradient diagonal window.label.focus.color: #363636 window.label.focus.colorTo: #000000 window.label.focus.textColor: #00ff00 window.handle.focus: raised gradient diagonal window.handle.focus.color: #383838 window.handle.focus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.grip.focus: raised gradient diagonal window.grip.focus.color: #4aa4ff window.grip.focus.colorTo: #0078f1 window.button.focus: raised gradient diagonal window.button.focus.color: #383838 window.button.focus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.button.focus.picColor: #00ff00 window.button.pressed: sunken gradient diagonal window.button.pressed.color: #262626 window.button.pressed.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.button.pressed.picColor: #00ff00 window.title.unfocus: flat gradient diagonal window.title.unfocus.color: #383838 window.title.unfocus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.label.unfocus: parentrelative window.label.unfocus.textColor: #808080 window.handle.unfocus: flat solid window.handle.unfocus.color: #000000 window.grip.unfocus: raised gradient diagonal window.grip.unfocus.color: #383838 window.grip.unfocus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.button.unfocus: raised gradient diagonal window.button.unfocus.color: #000000 window.button.unfocus.colorTo: #1c1c1c window.button.unfocus.picColor: #000000 window.frame.focusColor: black window.frame.unfocusColor: black window.font: Astrolyte window.justify: left ! -- misc. -- borderColor: #000000 borderWidth: 3 bevelWidth: 0 frameWidth: 3 handleWidth: 2 I took the blarga blue style blackbox came with and just edited to my liking with BBStyleMaker. Also, in the text editor, its not well organized like it pasted above. Its rather in three looooooooooong horizontal lines. Dunno if that makes a difference though. Anyway ive tried both bsetroot and bsetbg, and tried both f, and full. The image is there in the C:\Blackbox\backgrounds folder.... and it shows up through bbStyle. So I can only assume something is messed up with the style code somewhere... And I've also tried enabling/disabling the wallpaper and smart wallpaper, and reconfiguring. Sorry for the lengthy post, but any help would be great. Thanks.

Try it in its own line Code: rootCommand: bsetroot -f backgrounds\watchmen.png I think bbstylemaker saves in unix format, so, in windows' notepad for example, it looks garbled. It doesn't affect the rendering though. If you re-save the file in a text editor that has unix to pc conversion, it'll display correctly in those less feature rich editors. _________________ My blackbox styles

If by background settings you mean blackbox>config>graphics, then I've tried checking and un checking enable background and smart wallpaper. I don't get it.. >_<

If it does, your relevant settings are probably in blackbox.rc, where you have to have workspace style's code in it. _________________ My blackbox styles

I don't think the workspacechange plugin has anything to do with the wallpaper not showing correctly. The following settings work for me in bbClean (I'm not using the workspacechanger plugin anymore because it was too slow to apply new styles on the machine I wanted to use it on [I am changing workspaces frequently and the delay caused by the style change was simply too much to bear]): blackbox.rc Code: # - menu & style - session.menufile: menu.rc session.styleFile.workspace1: styles\Red.style session.styleFile.workspace2: styles\C4.style session.styleFile.workspace3: styles\Tetra.style session.styleFile.workspace4: styles\Novum.style session.styleFile: styles\Red.style I'm not certain that you really need the last line - session.styleFile: - but leaving it there doesn't seem to cause any harm. Here's the style's background command: Code: ! -- background -- rootCommand: bsetroot -f Backgrounds\Red_by_Verto.png Now make sure everything is where it's supposed to be, and that the backgrounds directory is spelled correctly, and you should be good to go. I also attached my copy of bsetroot just in case. Attachments: bsetroot.exe [254.5 KiB] Downloaded 54 times

Can't get rid of it, either. Your configuration files look ok, except maybe that you have 4 workspaces but only specified styles for 2 of them. So I would try setting something for the other 2 as well or reduce the number of workspaces to 2. Also, if you don't load the plugin, do the styles show their wallpaper? Maybe Vista and this particular plugin don't get along. You may also want to check out extensions.rc, it has some wallpaper settings: Code: # Background Wallpaper options # - Execute any rootCommands at all? blackbox.background.enabled: true # - Do not use the native window's wallpaper blackbox.background.smartWallpaper: true # - Dropped background images are saved here: blackbox.background.rootCommand: style

Yeah, I only have two styles currently, (working one two more) so that's why I only have two styles specified. Supposedly Workspace Style has a wraparound feature. And the backgrounds have never loaded with the styles, no matter what I've tried.
