I'm investigating how to make per-workspace backgrounds. On xmonad side solution is pretty simple using logHook (thanks #xmonad-ers for hints!) The other problem is the speed. Currently I use "qiv -z" to update the background (big jpeg photo) and it takes about 0.7-0.8s. Preliminary converting it to the size of display (1280x1024) gives 0.3-0.4s. It's still barely acceptable. So, how can I do better? Does X renders jpeg itself, or qiv converts jpeg to some other format? Then preliminary converting would also save the time. Any suggestions are welcome. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)
