Ubuntu :: Cycle Desktop Backgrounds In 11.04?
May 24, 2011I just updated to 11.04, and noticed in the "Background" tab of the appearance app, that there was what looked like a default option to cycle a set of backgrounds. However, when I selected it, the only background that appeared was the first one in the series, and it never cycled.
1) Is cycling backgrounds possible?
2) If so, can I create my own series of them?
Ubuntu :: Desktop Backgrounds - Location Of Picture?
Jan 9, 2010I understand the pictures are in usr/share/backgrounds. When you select a picture from the internet to be your desktop background (as I have) where does the physical picture go? It does not go into usr/share/backgrounds - where is it?

Dec 3, 2010I have been having issues with my desktop background pictures overlapping.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 2008 2.2ghz white macbook and outputting to a 27" LG monitor through the mini-dvi output. This issue occurred when I was running 10.04 as well.

A question: how can I change the background for an individual desktop ?

Debian Multimedia :: Desktop Backgrounds Have Smaller Copies On Top Of Themselves?
Apr 6, 2011Difficult to describe, but basically the desktop background image has a slightly smaller copy of itself (roughly 70% of the original) overlayed in the upper-left hand corner, like a picture-in-picture type of effect. This occurs on both the login screen,d the wallpaper I have set under my account. It seems to be isolated to ONLY the wallpaper, and not affecting any icons or functionality of anything else that I've noticed. Logging out and rebooting have no effect on the issue.

Apr 21, 2010I switched our main fileserver to new hardware running RHEL 4 Update 8 yesterday. Post the switch my users are finding that the text in the boxes on taskbars at the bottom of their desktop screens no longer truncates but spills over onto that of other boxes, making them extremely hard to decipher.
All our desktops are RHEL 4.8 too. Also, I'm only able to select PNGs as desktop wallpaper - JPEG backgrounds just appear as plain white when selected(!) Has anyone seen this before and knows of a fix?
Ubuntu :: Desktop Files Disappearing After Reboot?
Jun 8, 2011I setup the chromium browser to come up in kiosk mode in the startup applications and after rebooting it does not come up in kiosk mode and the startup application entry is now gone.I have several machines and though they all have the exact same hardware and software, some lose the startup application entry on reboot and some do not.I was wondering if anyone might know what is going on and what might be the fix for this. I don't think it is a chromium problem, but I am positive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Conky Alignment - Desktop Icons Disappearing ?
Aug 21, 2010I'm trying to work out with Conky on my Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
Conky is set to Top Left alignment, but it doesn't seem to be ending up there at all. After changing all of the different alignments, it doesn't seem to move around much at all.
(Desktop Screenshot Attached)
My other issue, which may have something to do with the way my Conky is set up, is that I have a couple of icons on the desktop, but they only show up when I put my mouse over them, and in the next couple of seconds they go away. It seems to be related to the refresh frequency of conky, which seems to be all of my issues right now.
Another note, this conky code is essentially pulled directly from the conky website.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Change Window Backgrounds
May 25, 2010I'm trying to install an emerald theme while maintaining the Compiz desktop effects. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lynx and have installed Emerald Theme Manager and Compiz. I was looking for a good theme to go with my background/laptop and took a liking to this one I'm sure this is a stupid question but how do I install this? By following the link to the rgba true theme, there are "instructions" on how to install it, but I just cant figure it out. I have the window borders setup but I'm stumped on how to get the transparent black window backgrounds(by window backgrounds I mean everything inside the frame). The frame works fine but it looks terrible with the solid white window interior. Can someone tell me how to get this working? I have already tried Compiz opacity (terrible, makes everything unreadable). Every background setting I see is RGB, no transparent setting. If it helps, I'm trying to get everything ~75% transparent, no solid colors.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How Does Appearance Pref Mgr Reference Backgrounds
Feb 16, 2010Peering into gconf-editor, I noticed that under desktop>gnome>background the picture_filename is the original warty that comes pre-installed on karmic. However, I am not using that BG, instead one that i told the Appearance Preference manager to find and use. Does this app use a symbolic link to refer to the image, or is it elsewhere? Lookin in /usr/share/backgrounds my image does not exist. So what is drawing the BG? Is it nautilus or compiz?

Oct 17, 2010Well I was curious to try Nautilus Elementary from its PPA. The install was fine, but the search function was broken. After having issues removing the PPA and my package manager having errors I have old Nautilus back, but without its old Backgrounds and Emblems in the Edit menu. I tried doing remove completely of Nautilus and its related packages but I don't have the old nautilus back as I need it.
I don't want to have to reinstall everything just for one application, as it means configuring settings and installing the rest of my apps all over again.

May 20, 2011Has anyone else using Kubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 4 noticed a black background underneath the speech bubble-looking dialogs that come from its top toolbar? Is anyone aware of an existing fix or workaround for this issue? It seems to not be a theme-specific bug (oxygen-gtk, qtcurve, and raleigh are all affected). Does it have anything to do with the black window-resize handle that you have to disable in .gtkrc-2.0-kde4?

If on a white screen then white. It is turquoise everywhere!

If he goes into the desktop settings, the wallpapers are there and selected, but they won't show up unless he clicks OK again

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Black Backgrounds Appear Grey On Gnome-terminal
May 18, 2010Running gnome under Ubuntu Lucid
$ env | grep TERM
TERM=xterm
COLORTERM=gnome-terminal
I had to edit both my .muttrc and my vim colorscheme to change the background color from black to none in order to get a proper black background (or, more accurately, to retain the terminal's default black background). Setting it to black resulted in a dark grey background. This only happens with gnome-terminal; konsole, xterm and rxvt are fine.
