But I only found the login screen background picture. I also did a file traction while I changed the wallpaper and then search for the keywords as well as looking at every jpg and png file. I tried to search for the wallpaper file location in finder but seems like the keyword does not appear in the file name - I tried to search for "desktop", "background" and "wallpaper". I tried the following command but nothing happened: sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db "update data set value = '/path/to/picture.jpg'" & killall Dock Īlso tried this: defaults write Background "" killall Dockīut seems like the setting is not stored in any more.

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to set picture of every desktop to ("/path/to/picture.jpg" as POSIX file as alias)'

I tried to use apple script (see below) but I was only able to change the wallpaper of the user that I have the password to SSH.

I am able to SSH into that machine by login in as a different user, which is an admin user btw. Visual Studio for Mac allows you to open text editors side by side, or to have an editor as a detached floating window. (Toggling that selection does not change this option, this option does not exist until you've written to it).I want to change a Mac (Hign Sierra) desktop background of one specific user account remotely.

Go to System Preferences/Mission Control and uncheck the box that says "When swithching applications, switch to another space with open windows for that application."īut this option actually seems to override that selection. Should your preferred language not be available, content will be. There's a easier solution (if I'm reading the OP's post correctly). Changing the country/region will affect factors including price and product availability. But now the problem is that when you click on an icon in the Dock it won't take you to that app and when you have a lot of things open across different desktops it sometimes is hard to find the app you're looking for. Alternatively, reboot (though why when you can restart the service :)). The latter restarts the Dock to apply the prefs change. Via in the comments way above, this seems to have worked for me:ĭo this in terminal: defaults write workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO I've tried toggling the "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application." option in System Preferences->Mission Control, but it happens whether this is turned on or off.ĭoes anyone know what might be causing this and how I might fix it? I've only seen it happen with Chrome, but then, Chrome is the only application that I ever have open in multiple workspaces.

It can happen whether I'm switching workspaces via keyboard shortcut or trackpad gesture, but I don't think I've ever seen it happen if I open Mission Control to switch workspaces.

I can't seem to figure out the precise set of conditions that causes this it's random as far as I can tell (although, infuriatingly, once it does happen, it'll probably happen again immediately after when I try to correct). I pretty much always have two different workspaces that have a window of Google Chrome open.Įver since I updated from Yosemite to High Sierra, I've had this weird issue where, when I switch to one of the Chrome workspaces, it'll instantly jump to the other Chrome workspace (even though there's like 4 other workspaces between them). I make heavy use of workspaces, and tend to have a lot of workspaces, most of which only have one window.
