How does one add ones own wallpaper to Mepis, and where do you put it. I assume it's a .jpg image of some sort and goes into a wallpaper folder some where.


I'm running ver.7 bete 5 by the way...

/usr/share/wallpapers should be where other wallpaper is located. You could also just save the images somewhere in your home directory and when chaning the wallpaper, just search for new wallpaper from there.

Worked great - thanks!

As I see you have the ability to change your desktop wallpaper from your own photo/image already...

Below is a link to the SimplyMEPIS Community Art Project

Also below are a few wallpaper newsgroups:
alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper
alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper.discussion
alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper.duplicates
alt.binaries.pictures.wallpapers
alt.binaries.wallpaper

I use both Knode & Pan to access the above newsgroups...

If you create your own wallpapers you might want to look at a weekly contest making different wallpapers from a source image - FAQ for WW Contest:
