    I’m always curious how long people spend staying at their desktops. My laptop has six virtual desktops and I can’t see the background on any of them.

    One for each uni course and one for general use, and they all have 2-3 windows open. It’s super handy for school since I can just swipe and pick up where I left off on every course.

    Edit: That’s not to take away from a gorgeous desktop. It looks really nice.

      This is why I like window transparency for certain apps. That way I can set the desktop background to something fairly neutral, then set window transparent and blur it so I can always sort of see what’s behind. Idk, it makes everything feel a bit lighter

      I usually have 10 workspaces on all my setups. 2 of them will be unoccupied, so whenever I leave my desk I switch to that empty workspace (when nobody is around). When I come back my comfortable desktop welcomes me with a wallpaper that is easy on the eyes. Thats pretty much the only time I actually look at the desktop , apart from a brief moment after login of course.

        I can appreciate that. I wonder if I can set a rule that it displays a certain workspace after unlocking…
