Backgrounds

How do I add backgrounds? When I right click on the desktop I get a screen with three tabs on the top. When I click on the "pictures" tab there is nothing there. Left click or right click results in -----NOTHING - - - H E L P - - - this stuff shouldn't need to be a problem. I'm getting close to uninstalling the program.

When you right click at the [ Desktop ] .....[ Double Click ] on the center [ Greenish Background ] in that window you were referring to.... and another window will open with more backgrounds.
Then do your selection.
Look Here ...On how to change the size !!!!

Everyone has started with crawling....then learning how to walk within GNU/Linux at one time or another.
Be patient and read over everything on this forum.
Things will fall in place in due time.

Hi,

you can also right click any downloaded pic and "set as wallpaper"!.

If you are feeling adventurous, install 'Ubuntu Tweak' (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/) and then click on the 'Tweak' tab and click on 'Love Wallpaper HD' - keep clicking on 'I'm feeling lucky!' to refresh what is available - double-click on the wallpaper you want and it installs instantly!

(If you want to know where the wallpaper is saved to it is in a hidden config file - press Ctrl+ H to show hidden files in your '/home' folder, then open '.config' then 'ubuntu-tweak' and in there you will find the wallpaper named as 'lovewallpaper' - every time you use 'Love Wallpaper HD' that file will get overwritten so to keep simply highlight the 'lovewallpaper' file, right-click and 'copy to' - home folder! )
