      In my opinion, the empty desktop should be used for something.
      What is the use of an big empty space?
      If people don't like to use it and love emptiness, it's ok. But fore those like to use the space for getting some information should be able to do it.
      The only thing you can use right now is a static desktop image.

        The only time you can even access the 'desktop' is after a fresh boot, or by closing all open apps. Putting anything there would make using it inconvenient.

          @Giiba a solution that makes the desktop move like open apps, as the screen of apps is right now, is called SCOPES

          if there are no applications the desktop stays in the wallpaper.
          if you want to put apps on the wallpaper now you can use Sprint and you don't have an empty wallpaper.

            I am speaking of the current development channel releases as far as ui. I remember the scopes thing, but always found it annoying and find it awkward when I switch back to stable.

            I won't claim the new Unity is perfect, but I feel it is a solid step forward for the OS. I think the new indicator addons showing up in the open store is a way for scopes to be brought back in a just as accessible way, but being optional.

            My point would be that people (in general) should give the changes a try with a clear mind, yes it is different, but I think it is an improvement in many ways.

              I didn't like scopes, I'm happy it's gone. In time the empty space can be used for widgets and shortcuts etc.

                I don't like scopes and never used them.
                I want a desktop with only my favorite picture(s).
                I'd be very happy if the background image could be a slideshow, switching every 10 or 15 minutes (for example)
                It's exactly what I have for my Desktop PC with Cinnamon. No garbage on the screen and powerful menus

                                  @Flohack Can you clarify, please?
                                  We don't need background animation because they wouldn't work or because they shouldn't for other reasons?
                                  Because i know gif format can or should work in Gallery even if the work isn't finished.
                                  See https://gitlab.com/StefWe/gallery-app/-/jobs/424388885/artifacts/browse/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/app/ and try

                                    @domubpkm Well to have an animated background we need a worker process that is actually doing the animation. That means adding new stuff to unity8, making a communication pipe to start/stop it etc. Thats more effort than just adding a png/jpg there. So for the first iteration of the feature, lets keep it static πŸ™‚

                                        @Flohack : Thank you. It's done on GitHub.
                                        But the code is on GitLab, no ? GitHub seems 2 years old.
