Changes

The Ubuntu GNOME desktop allows the background to be changed either to a solid or graded color, or to any image you choose to specify. In this chapter of Ubuntu Desktop Essentials we will look at changing the desktop background.

There are three methods for changing the background, either by clicking with the right hand mouse button on the current desktop background and selecting ''Change Desktop Background'', selecting the ''System->Preferences->Appearance'' menu option, or clicking with the right hand-mouse button on an image in the web browser and selecting ''Set As Desktop Background''. The latter method allows you find images from one of the many web sites that provide them and quickly make it your background.
