Is it possible to have a different wallpaper on the external monitor from that on the build-in monitor?

Please give us more details … about your system and DE version etc

I‘m using F36, gnome42.

While F36 is still in beta (at least until May 10) there will be few changes except bug fixes. You may want to propose a feature enhancement to the gnome developers to allow the different wallpapers you ask about.

Thank you for your suggestion. I think it is unlikely to have a feature enhancement in the coming release.

You could try Gabriele Musco / HydraPaper · GitLab

Thank you very much! I installed hydrapaper but it crashes each time I start it. I’ll wait for the update.

Was it the flathub or repo version?
The flathub version worked for me, albeit a little quirky.

Could not be the version of gnome an issue?

GNOME 3
