How to remove the wallpaper image and have a plain wallpaper [SOLVED]
« on: July 18, 2011, 01:24:24 PM »
In Desktop Preferences there is an option to set the Background colour but this has no effect while there is a Wallpaper image selected but there seems no way to deactivate the Wallpaper image. Clicking on the current selection brings up a list of Wallpaper images but there is no "none" option.

Other than creating a blank / plain image is there another way? Why have the Background colour option?

Thanks

Easy work-around -- Move a graphical image from your pictures folder to your home folder. Choose the image as your wallpaper. Move the image to your pictures folder. Now the wallpaper is set to "None."

By "your home folder," I meant your /home/your-user-id folder. I did not say, nor did I mean /home (without user-id). This was to be done totally within your home folder, that is in your /home/your-user-id.
Your /home/your-user-id has a folder named Pictures. If you put an image in your /home/your-user-id/Pictures and choose it as your wallpaper, and then if you move that image from your /home/your-user-id/Pictures folder to your /home/your-user-id folder, your wallpaper will be set to "None." A logout/login will apply this change.
