The question has been asked for older versions but it looks like none of the solutions work anymore:
In the GNOME desktop environment, how do I prevent it from drawing a desktop?
Background: I have a multi-monitor setup and want each monitor to show a different picture. I have installed nitrogren but it can only paint below the GNOME desktop window.
The problem is that even when setting
org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'none'
it still insists on drawing the color.
I have also fiddled around with org.gnome.desktop.background.primary-color
but setting it to an empty string or none
only results in a black canvas.
I can totally understand that there's no GUI button for this, but not supporting it via dconf settings?!
