I am running 18.04 (new laptop for work) and I do not see an option to tile, stretch or fit the background image for the desktop. How do I do this?  When I go to the Background Pane of Settings, I don't see an option   Nor do I see an option when I select a custom image to tile   Searching for "tile" does not show anything either

Up until a couple months ago, if I changed my wallpaper/background image, I could choose between tile, zoom, centre, scale, fill or span.  These options no longer appear in GUI for changing the background image. I am using Ubuntu 17.10.

I'm using a low resolution texture (128x64) from an old game as a background image to help me model but it gets blurry (or aliased I guess) which ruins everything.   I heard that one might need to increase the size of texture but if I do that then texture will get messed up and I want to keep all pixels of it in the same place without "JPGing" it.  Is it absolutely impossible to get sharp background image? Zooming doesn't help either. My version is 2.79

Can anyone help me out with how to make Bing Picture to my Desktop Wallpaper?    So it works by downloading the highest quality of todays picture. Then storing it ex in the Picture folder of your account. After that automatically changing the picture itself.  It should continue the same everyday without hassle in the background.  Probably something I have to add in the Startup Applications. Any differences between Ubuntu versions?    -Do I have to write a script?  This would be appreciated by many others too! Thank You in Advance :)

When windows are not maximized, the top panel is basically wasted space for me in Unity.  Is there a way to make it autohide? i.e. make it appear on mouse over.

There was an option to change background to solid color. However, I notice that that option is no longer there. The only options available are to use existing image or to add picture. Was this setting moved to somewhere else?  Here are some of the option available in the previous version Ubuntu Studio 18.04 64-bit  Look at the solid colour settings there

Okay, whenever I want to tile a window on the right I hit Win+→, and I tile my window.  And I'm fine with that, that's what I want.   However Windows always wants me to tile another window on the left, and minimizes the rest of the windows that are open for me to choose one.  I'd like help to disable this second part of the process of tiling. That is, I'd like to tile my window and have it tiled and continue with my workflow.  Instead of always having to cancel the choosing of the second window to tile.  This is a minor issue that I can go around every time.  The reason I'm asking for help is that I do this so many times in the day, that it somehow became a little annoying.

Some Windows machines can be configured with a desktop background that will query the local system for its hardware configuration, OS, configuration, statistics, etc.    What program do you need to install to acquire this type of desktop background?

I am building a Custom ISO of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using CUBIC and I'd like to change the default background and lock screen image.  I added the backgrounds in /usr/share/backgrounds, changed the background in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml file, but it does not seems to affect new users (for example the OEM user).  Also, I did not find any way to change the lock screen image.

How to change the desktop wallpaper to a photo of my own selection in Ubuntu 18.04? I'm not interested in downloading some wallpaper changer application, nor am I interested in coding something up. There has to be an easy way to select a photo as a custom wallpaper in Ubuntu 18.04.

When I right click an image file in Windows, one of the context menu options is "Set as desktop background". I know some entries can be , so I'd like to know if it's possible to remove the "Set as background" option.  Note that while  can be found under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\, the "set as background" option seems to be located somewhere else.

When using photos as textures they are usually not tileable and create patterns like:    Is there any method in Blender to make images tileable?

I have an animated .gif I created using Photoshop CS4, but I can't get animation on my desktop although I can set it as a background from the context menu by opening it in Internet Explorer.  How can I set an animated .gif as the desktop background on Windows 7?

First the picture:    As you can see in the image, the colors used for the icons and the words Applications and Places (In spanish in this case) have a different background dark gray color than the rest of the panel. Also the icons look rather bigger in that panel. Now my questions are:   Can the background colors be customized so they look the same all the way through the panel. Can the icons be somehow minimized a little so they don't look strange (bigger actually) How to edit the way to add icons to the panel. I have to actually hold the ALT key and right click on it to show the context menu which shows me the option to add something. That extra key press is not friendly at all.   In this particular case I am trying to help an older man start in Ubuntu. Unity is too much for him but Gnome is friendlier for him (Learning curve is not the best for older people.. specially 68+ year old people).

I'd like to use a background image for my world, but I'm not sure how to do it.   Right now I am using the sun as a lightpoint and it looks like sky and a flat plane (not realistic). I was thinking of just using a mountain background image for the world.  I've done that through textures etc. but I don't see ANYTHING in render even though it shows in worlds?  What am I doing wrong?    Also what's a cheap quick fix for cases like mine so it looks like the world isn't JUST blue sky?  Thanks guys!

I've upgraded to Raring last night. The upgrade itself went okay, no errors. But when I rebooted the computer afterwards and logged in to my Unity session, all I could see was the Desktop background (together with Desktop icons), and no Unity interface. The Super button shortcut wasn't showing the Dash, there was no top panel etc. Please see the screenshot.    As a hint, I'm suspecting it's got something to do with my switchable graphics. I'm running Ubuntu on Acer Aspire AS5830TG with nVidia GT540M and an Intel integrated card. In 12.10 I was using Bumblebee to manage the graphic card switching. During the upgrade I saw something related to nvidia had to be uninstalled, but didn't pay much attention to it. I can't be sure if it has anything to do with my problem though.  What could possibly go wrong?

How can I register an .appimage file (specifically, the tiled map editor found ) as a desktop app? (Like firefox -- I can launch it by typing 'Firefox' into search rather than opening up a console and typing /path/to/directory/firefox.ext)
