My app uses the Theme.Wallpaper family, which means the current wallpaper is used as the app's background.
This may cause readability issues (depending on the user's favorite wallpaper) so I want to allow the user to choose an image as a background.
The way I am trying to implement it is:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
// Get wallpaper preferences to check if user selected a wallpaper
Is there solution using a utility or folder shortcuts that would keep the active desktop wallpaper/background the same in KDE and Gnome/Unity. (Changing the background in one desktop would also change the other desktop's wallpaper)
I use both desktops because they both serve me better for different tasks, and i'd like to match LightDM login background for KDE as well.
I am using Dual Monitor and want to have only a "Background Color" on booth monitors.
But somehow the wallpaper on the 2nd monitor don't dissappear. When I select to use a wallpaper file, it is visible on
booth monitors, it does not matter what I am doing like streching, center --> it works fine.
i set a custom wallpaper background simply by right clicking on the image and selecting "set as background" but when i shut my computer off last night and turned it back on today, my desktop wallpaper was changed. it was a default plain blue color.
any idea why that happened?
this was the first time i shut my computer down since i installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I have list all options for wallpapers. When I long press the screen, the option has disappeared, and I now have a black background. I have gone into settings and tried to set it there, but though the wallpaper option is in it, it does not take, live or still. It happened when I installed the app Multipicture Live Wallpaper.
I understand how to set the wallpaper but what I dont undrrstand is why there are 2 blue squares when cropping your new wallpaper. It is imo upsetting that the s4 doesnt have a scrolling background like my infuse did but o well.
Ubuntu 11.04 has come out for few days, if you choose to upgrade from a previous Ubuntu edition you may encounter no wallpaper displaying problem in Unity.
Here is what I am doing:
Right-click on desktop > select "Change Desktop Background" > under the "Look" tab select "Wallpapers" from the drop-down menu > click on the "+" button to add new wallpapers to the selection > browse to the wallpaper and click "open" ...
I'm having a similar problem myself.GDM works great but once I log in to gnome all I get is a blue bar wallpaper/background the same as the login wallpaper/background.I'm not sure if it's a wallpaper or not.I get the compiz splash image when compiz starts up and the expo edge zooms out to show the desktops but that's it.Clicking on the desktop won't bring up anything at al
