<p>You can set a color or an image as background for every folder and the Desktop for every workspace.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<img src="../images/prefs-images/backgrounds.png" alt="backgrounds.png" />
<p>The top menu specifies if your changes are applied to the current workspace only, all workspaces, a specific folder or as default for every new folder.</p>
<p>Below that you can assign an image or select <span class="menu">None</span> if you want simply a colored background. Images can also be drag&amp;dropped onto the preview to the left.</p>
<p>If you are using an image, you have to decide on the placement:</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td><span class="menu">Manual</span></td><td> </td><td>lets you specify the coordinates. You can drag the picture around in the preview to the left or enter <i>X</i> and <i>Y</i> manually.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">Center</span></td><td> </td><td>centers the picture in the middle of the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="onelinetop"><span class="menu">Scale to fit</span></td><td> </td><td>enlarges the picture with no regard to its aspect ratio until it fills the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">Tile</span></td><td> </td><td>fills the screen by repeating the picture.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>Activating <span class="menu">Icon label outline</span> puts a thin contour around icon labels.</p>
<p>Whether an icon label's actual text is black or white depends on the setting of the color picker. A dark color sets the text to white, a light color to black. So, if you assign a very bright image to the background, you should also set the color picker to a bright color in order to have icon labels readable in black. (Or use the outline option above.)<br />
The selected color is also reflected in the <a href="../desktop-applets/workspaces.html">Workspaces applet</a>, which ignores images as backgrounds.</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><span class="button">Revert</span></td><td> </td><td>brings back the settings that were active when you started the Backgrounds preferences.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="button">Apply</span></td><td> </td><td>sets your changes.</td></tr>
