I've never heard of Core Center. Post a link and I'll take a look.

Yeah I compared them to the ones I dl-ed from your location and they were slightly different. Not sure how it happened but none the less they are working now. I will delete the ones that don't work.

I do have another question though. Have you heard of Core Center and do you know if it will work on Beryl?

Let me know.
Thanks again.

Hi Ohjrson,

I'm not sure what happened that those pictures won't open, my best guess is that they were somehow damaged.

I dl those images from your location you sent me and yes I was able to click on them and set them as wallpaper and they work. Why is that yours work and mine will not? They have the same extension .jpg on them...

Let's try a different approach.

Please go here, and download a fresh copy of LL 1.08 wallpaper to your home directory.

Are you able to open the wallpaper on your computer and/or set it as a background now?

Hi Ohjrson,

Quote
I removed them and placed them in a separate folder and they are still not being seen.

If you go to the separate folder can you see the pictures?

Assuming "yes," you can see pictures in the separate folder, are you able to right-click on a picture and choose the option "set as wallpaper"?
Answer: No I cannot see them. Yes, I can right click on them and I do see "set as wall paper" but when I do that, I just get a black screen. I also checked with the GUI window and it was able to open the XFCE4 folder and see the images, However, I was able to open the Images folder but the images could not be seen in the GUI window in that folder.

What do I need to do so I can see all the pictures in there?

Thanks
Ohjrson

Yes I have had this issue as well. I tried putting the old background pictures from LL 1.08 into the Background folder for Beryl and I could not see them at all. I removed them and placed them in a separate folder and they are still not being seen. How do I get the old backgrounds from LL 1.08 to work on Beryl?

Hi Tfaranyosi,

However when I copy pictures into the /backgrounds/xfce folder all files will be locked up.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the files will be locked up.

Are you using administrator (sudo) privlidges when copying the files? Here's an example, does this work for you?


To paste additional backgrounds into the folder /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ you will need administrator permissions.

Open Thunar
File > Open as Administrator
A new Thunar window opens in administrator mode
Navigate to /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/

Now you should be able to copy and paste backgrounds.

I like using multiple backgrounds on my LL 2.0. However when I copy pictures into the /backgrounds/xfce folder all files will be locked up. If I change the background location to somewhere else, after closing the desktop settings app it defaults back to the xfce directory. So 1, How do I unlock the picture files in the xfce directory, or 2, make the change in the desktop setting app stick?

Thanks
