== Changing Desktop Themes ==

Ubuntu comes with a selection of desktop themes, and many more can be downloaded from websites.

To change themes, choose '''System menu --> Preferences --> Theme'''.

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

attachment:Bckgrnd_Prefs.png 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.

Changing Desktop Themes

To change themes, choose System menu --> Preferences --> Theme.
