'''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 ==
||<tablestyle="float:right; margin: 0 0 0 1em;">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.

== Ubuntu Eyecandy Pages ==
 * ["Upower"]: add a boot-up splash screen to Ubuntu
 * ["GnomeFoot"]: Replace the Gnome foot on the Applications menu with the Ubuntu logo - note that Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) does this by default!
 * ["WallpaperTray"]: Random wallpaper utility

== Other Eyecandy Resources ==
