--- Comment #479 from John <ilikef...@waterisgone.com> ---
This is definitely the main reason why I don't use multiple workspaces as
usability definitely sucks without having a quick way to identify which
workspace is which and the different wallpapers would've been the best thing
for that.

I could've even used a wallpaper with a house or my favorite picture for the
home one or I could've used an image editing program to add even numbers on
them or other texts.

I can't believe that I had this possibility 12 years ago in Gnome 2 with
Compiz, which made the cube even better, and now we still can't have that in
modern desktop environments.

I know about activities, but honestly I never got into them as they seem to
complicated for what I want compared to having a few workspaces that you switch
between.

I hope some day somebody solves this huge usability problem for me so I can
finally use workspaces again as I used to.
If I were to design this, I would've just linked each workspace with a set of
wallpapers, a set of panels, a set of widgets, a set of icon shortcuts to
applications and a set of folders and files that belong to it with an option
for each set of things to span on multiple workspaces (to be the same one),
like in the case the user wants the same panel or widgets in all or multiple
workspaces.

I assume this is pretty hard to do, but I think it should solve all the
problems and wishes for everybody. and in case of using the cube this would be
great.
Imagine wanting to play a game and just having to switch to the "gaming" side
of the cube where I have a gaming wallpaper, widgets with temperatures for when
I alt-tab out of a game, shortcuts on the desktop for all my games or launchers
like Steam and Lutris
I would find that pretty intuitive and easy to use.
