Change Wallpaper Squeeze/KDE


I can't seem to find the spot where I can change my DT Wallpaper. I've gone to: Settings => System Settings => Destop: found the drop-down menu listing Desktop Effects, Multiple Desktops, Screen Edges, Screen
aver, Launch Feedback, and Workspace. That's as far as I can go. I've read a number of posts that refer to "Activity Settings", and "Desktop Activity". But no such option appears on my system.

I just want to copy a pic I have on file and use it as the Desktop wallpaper.

Just right-click on your desktop, then click on Default Desktop Settings.

"Default Desktop Settings."[sic] doesn't appear anywhere. "Instructions" are fine ass long as your using the same nomenclature as the author. But thanks ... the option appears at the bottom of my DT menu Labeled:
"Folder View Activity Settings". I just didn't associate a DT "Appearance" or "Workspace" with "Folder View".

Thanks again,

If you right click on the middle of your screen you have a menu pop up, the last option on that menu should be Default Desktop Setting, It also says that you can bring it up pressing 'Alt+D then Alt+S' then at the botton of that screen you have the options of install default wallpaper or open imagens in your photos or Get New Wallpapers.

I think pressing Alt+D then release it then press Alt+S works fine.
Good luck to you.
