Right-click on your desktop and choose '''Change Desktop Background'''. Pick a wallpaper from the list, or choose the '''Add Wallpaper''' button to add an image from any directory.

Use the '''Desktop Colors''' selector to change the background behind translucent or semi-transparent images - this works very well with SVG graphics.

Ubuntu Eye Candy is intended as an index for all the things in the wiki that are mostly intended to make Ubuntu look cooler and/or slicker, rather than the more "serious" configuration options documented elsewhere.

Fairly short items can be added directly to this page; existing or longer items should get their own pages with links from here.

Changing Desktop Wallpaper

Right-click on your desktop and choose Change Desktop Background. Pick a wallpaper from the list, or choose the Add Wallpaper button to add an image from any directory.

Use the Desktop Colors selector to change the background behind translucent or semi-transparent images - this works very well with SVG graphics.
