Bug Description

Hello!

It's not a support request, it's more like an idea. I'm not very good in english and i'm not quite sure if this is the right place to send it but as I first started Ubuntu I got, of course, a first look of it (i hope u understand what i mean : ) ). I thought, Ok, lets configurate something. So I wanted to change the background. But what was that ? There have only been 2 or 3 different (I think it was only one in different resulutions) Backgrounds available. Also, unlike in KDE, I was only able to change ALL Backgrounds, but not different backgrounds for the different desktops (I mean these desktops u could switch, I think normally there are four of them).

Perhaps u could add some more Backgrounds, and the other thing, the possibility of having different backgrounds for different desktops might also be discussed^^ (Yeah, I know, I should talk to the People of the GNOME project, shouldn't I)

So, thanks so far and sorry for my bad english.

Greetings,
DrOdal

I confirm that currently there is only one background image available for the users to choose from in Ubuntu/Gnome.

As for the "different background for each virtual desktop " issue, it is already reported in Bug 18397.

I'm inclined to not put them into ubuntu-artwork, as it is rather big already, but would like to create a new package with community contributed artwork. This should be discussed on the ubuntu-art list.

Changed in ubuntu-artwork:
assignee: nobody → ubuntu-art

I totally agree. We should have more backgrounds installed with a standard installation of Ubuntu. When I've got a first look at Ubuntu when I just installed it I got the same feeling.

I think it is a great plus, also in the aspect of user friendlyness, to have more backgrounds to choose from. Especially for new Linux users, who are unfamiliar with the interface.
