A wallpaper per space

hi
is it possible to set a wallpaper per space?
when i change it, changes are applied to all spaces, which is not funny
thanks

Not yet but that would be a good suggestion. Go here Apple Product Feedback and suggest it. If enough people ask it may get added.

Desktop wallpaper overlapping Spaces in Mission Control

This is a weird one. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can't access Spaces in Mission Control properly because I have desktop wallpaper from a previous space overlapping most of the spaces at the top of Mission Control, i.e. desktop wallpaper from Space 1 carrying over onto Space 2 and blocking out the spaces at the top two-thirds of Mission Control (see image).
This currently occurs with my MBP hooked up to my Thunderbolt Display. (Haven't confirmed this behavior on the MBP alone yet.)

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Spaces with Multiple Displays

I have been using Spaces with my MacBook with an external display, without mirroring to extend my desktop. Overall, it works really well and has certainly made things less hectic when I have 1-8 windows open per application and up to 5 applications.
One thing I figured out by playing is that you can have windows from the same application in different spaces. For example, I have FireFox open with three windows, and can position one FF window in each of three spaces. The only way to do this that I have found is to drag the individual windows from the Spaces view (F8), but it's really useful for me to have web-pages organized by Space (personal, work, Google, etc.). By the way, if I shut down FF or restart the machine, the windows do not "remember" which Space they were in, which is not surprising to me. I assume that is a limitation of FF, not OS X.
Now here is the issue/problem I have experienced several times: Every so often, I will completely "lose" one or more windows. For example, I have two FF windows open in Space 4, then upon switching to another space and going back to Space 4, the windows are gone. They still show up in the list of FF windows (from the "Windows" menu in FF itself), so I think they are still open, but it's like they were assigned to Space 0 or something. There is no way to get to them or bring them back that I have found. There is also no good explanation for why this is occurring or any reproducible set of circumstances.
I can accept that I am pushing the envelope on Spaces using both multiple displays and splitting windows from one application across Spaces, so I am not expecting this to work flawlessly (yet). However, it sure would be useful to be able to recover from this when it occurs.
By the way, as a tip I have mapped my mouse button 3 (external mouse with a scroll wheel that has a button) to show Spaces, which has been very handy for me.
One last thing: Does anyone else think it would be cool to have Spaces act more like true individual Desktops? In other words, be able to set background image per Space and maybe even have different files on each Space/Desktop? Files would be more involved since Spaces are less permanent than a real Desktop, but background images seems like an easy thing to be able to code for.

Just to be clear, you CAN run an application and split its windows across different Spaces by dragging those windows in the Spaces view. So open Firefox in Space 1, open a second FF window in Space 1, then F8 and drag the second window into Space 2 and voila. It's somewhat random what happens when you click on the application icon in the dock when you do this, but it does work.
Good point about the background being very resource-intensive. Never mind.

Different background for every Space?

Is there any utility that would let me specify a different background image for every Space?

That seems like a trivial feature, but it may be difficult to implement. The system would have to keep the other desktop images loaded in memory (one per space) so that switching would work seamlessly and immediately, without any delay. That's potentially 16 images. If the Mac had two displays, that's 32. And a Mac can have more displays...
To answer your question, I have not seen any utility to do that.
I think the idea for Spaces it that your desktop does not move or change. It's your open application windows that slide onto an off of your ONE desktop, based on how you have grouped them. Spaces is an extension of Exposé, which does the same type of thing with open windows. I like the way it works now, and I think it would be distracting and a bit jarring if the background also changed as the windows slid into place.

Wallpaper slideshow for lxde, dual monitors

hi all
I wrote a bash script to change wallpaper for my dual monitors.
It randomly selects two images,
resizes to two different sizes for two monitors with different resolutions,
and then appends them into single wallpaper.
the content of wallpaper.sh..
#!/bin/bash
# $ sudo pacman -S imagemagick
# $ sudo ln -s /path/to/wallpaper.sh /etc/cron.hourly/wallpaper
ID=username

FN1="`/bin/ls -1 \"$D\" | sed -e \"$((${RANDOM}%${N}))!d\"`"
FN2="`/bin/ls -1 \"$D\" | sed -e \"$((${RANDOM}%${N}))!d\"`"
# resize 2 images to fit two resolutions, then append to big wallpaper

$ -resize ${RES1} "${D}${FN1}" -gravity center -extent "${RES1}" $ \
$ -resize ${RES2} "${D}${FN2}" -gravity center -extent "${RES2}" $ \

Thanks! I found this really useful for my setup :-)

Treating space as normal char when inputting text

In recording a demo, if I type in a sentence of 5 words, CP2
will use 5 slides to record the action, showing a caption "press
space bar" for three seconds per space typed between each word
pair. This makes the replaying of the sentence awkward. Usually I
have to delete from each of these slides the "press space bar"
object and shorten the mouse object that follows. Are there better
ways to make the typing smooth, without pausing between
words?

Nicknm, it should not be doing that. did you record you demo
using the simulation mode? check your preferences also.

Customizing Safari Top Sites for different Spaces

Let's say I have 2 Spaces; one for work and one for home. I'd like to be able to use Safari with a different set of Top Sites in each Space.
Is it possible to set Safari up with a different set of Top Sites on a per Spaces basis?

No, that's not possible.
One Top Sites per user.

Issue with Xi File Receiver "Content Conversion" fixed length and kanji

I need to create a fixed length file for a customer that has kanji (SJIS) characters in it. The issue is when the length of the value is less than the fixed length. It is padding out with spaces, but it is putting 2 bytes per space instead of one (But it seems to have counted the padding in characters...).
.fieldFixedLengths: 8,6,40,40
.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
.fieldNames: date,time,name1,name2
Receiver, please don't answer for sender.
File Adapter

Paul,
Can you please tell what is coming in the output file if the values are:
date: 062309
time: 2240
name1: hello
name2: hello2
When you put space here and if it is not showing correctly just to interpret you can use S which will stand for space.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:
<div id="sidebar1">

OWC Discussions (Jive Forums) - Add custom report - anyone tried?

Has anyone out there tried to add a custom (Java) report class on the Jive Forums Admin Console's report utility? I created a custom report class and want to install it using the Admin Console. However, when I click the "Install Class" button, the error says that the "Class is not an implementation of com.jivesoftware.base.stats.Report". But my custom class extends AbstractForumReport which is a subclass of AbstractReport which implements the Report interface. I have been unsuccessful in finding anyone who has successfully accomplished this.
The version of Jive Forums that I am running is the only one available from the webcenter (10.1.3) companion cd: Jive Forums Silver (5.1.0). I don't have the time or option to upgrade to 11g.
Thank you,
Mark

Michael,
Are you using WebCenter as well to use the forum?
If so, you can set the permissions there as well.
e.g. in WebCenter Spaces, you can change the permissions of the moderator role to include the privilege of editing / deleting posts or replies per space, which gives you greater flexibility opposed to granting people the privilege in the forum app.
I'm quite sure there is a similar setting in a WebCenter Portal application, but am not 101% sure.
Kind regards,
Rob

Trying to software update my macbook but after restart it freezes

I have a Macbook (the person i bought it from said he purchased it in 2010, its silver) its running on version 10.6 which is far too old, im having trouble downloading itunes to sync with my iphone 5. As i dont have the app store on my computer (no idea why) i cant download yosemite. ive tried a couple downloads but as soon as they have downloaded and i try to get it to work it says theres been an error. so i tried a software update, it started downloading something and then it restarts but once restarted it just goes back to my wallpaper (mac space wallpaper) with no top bar or anything just frozen on the wallpaper, i left it thinking it was normal but i was still frozen after nearly 12 hours. i eventually turned the computer off and it seems to be back to the way it was before i tried the software update.
if i could get any advice it would be much appreciated. thanks

The ailver model macbook was from late 2008. Did the seller provide the original gray install discs with it?

Keep background image same when creating new workspace

Hi and thanks in advance for any input,
Up until I plugged in a mini-display port to HDMI connection/dongle I would have the same background when I created a new workspace (OSX 10.7 Lion).
Now, when I create a new workspace, the background set's itself to the first picture in a set folder with a default option of rotating the background image after a set period of time.
My question is this: how do I get back to the use case that I am familiar with, where a new workspace has the same background image as the original 'Desktop 1' background?
Thanks for looking,
Jordan from CO

Hey Richard,
What are you Desktop properties set to?
This is an interesting question. My initial (Desktop 1) properties are as follows:
// Properties are set to keep the same background image
However, when I add a new Space, to create Desktop 2, my desktop properties default to:
// Properties of 'New Desktop' (Space) default to Change picture every 10 minutes.
// When I am connected to an external display, the background image of Bonaroo shown in the screen shot becomes the new default; what is odd is that when the external display is not plugged in, another background becomes the default. Odd.
So, replying to your comment made me think of something which ended up being the answer that I have been looking for:
•Why not duplicate the background and place it in its own folder? This way, there would be no other images for it to default to and to change the properties away from, as the folder has not changed.
Indeed a workaround, but the answer to my problems:
One more thing to address:
Even if you don't have random backgrounds set, I would think it a good design idea to make them random. Otherwise users could easily become confused about which desktop they are looking at.
My rebuttal to your design philosophy is that I love the consistency a single background presents. Think of iOS: one background, multiple pages. Users look at the content presented on the page. I regularly use the four finger gesture to enter the 'Exposé' feature of OSX Lion, and this gives me further indication of which desktops arrangement.
I have read other reviews stating that the feature you noted is a great idea, so you are not alone (to have multiple desktop backgrounds for color coding what workspace/desktop/space you are in). My experience was somewhat jarring, however, as I was used to a specific use case of a consistent background; thus I have been posting in an effort to find a solution to my problem. Again, thank you for your insights; you are the one that lead me to a solution, afterall.
// Separate note: expose will rearrange your windows/spaces/workspaces/desktops when you utilize command+tab. This design feature has a distinct iOS feel; as in iOS, your spaces and apps are dynamically rearranged based on the order or applications used.
// Here is a quick photo example illustrating the point:
// (I would have taken a screen shot of the command-tab interface but I cannot take a screen shot while holding down command; I use command-shift-3 for a full screen shot)
1) Apps open in order (for this purpose I am sticking to one application per space and am including two fullscreen apps ): Finder, Safari, System Preferences, Mail
// If I command+tab over to the full screen Mail app, my spaces are now rearranged as follows:
// So now, to further illustrate the point, I can get 'Desktop 2' to be next to Desktop 1 by command-tabbing from Finder [Desktop 1] to System Preferences [Desktop2]; when I enter expose, the spaces are again rearranged to this:
// This is similar to iOS' multitasking where a users multitasking list is dynamically rearranged based on the app that was used last in order to allow the user to gesture to the last app with ease.
