Or is there a way to do this that I've missed? wink

There's a helpful thread on this in the Mint Xfce forum which involves using Wallpapoz.

(An old thread, I know, but maybe still of interest?)

But, I really do like XFCE (running 4.8 right now). Two things would make it perfect for me:

1. The ability to zoom the screen. I know that both KDE and compiz have this feature, and it helps my aging eyes from time to time. I've tried running xfce on top of compiz, but it just never seems to work right.

2. A simple (I think) request to have different desktop images on each workspace. Again, KDE (?) and compiz seem to manage this.

Certainly neither are deal breakers ... but would be nice! Someone, please, tell me I can already do it!
