Q: Desktop Picture randomality
I just thought it was worth noting something that I found. It had been driving me crazy for ages that, even thought I set my desktop pictures to change every 5 secconds in a random order, they seemed to be coming out in the same alphabetical order. What I was surprised to find was that I had to set the random checkbox in every single desktop (space)!! I also found that the easiest way to do this is to assign system preferences to all desktops, open system preferences, open "desktop and screensaver" and, then, go through everyone of the desktops and set the order to random. I actually have system preferences set to a specific desktop, so I, then, changed it back to this setting.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
