  <title>Change the desktop background</title>

  <p>To change the image used for your backgrounds:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui>
      overview and start typing <gui>Background</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui>Background</gui> to open the panel. The currently selected
      wallpaper is shown at the top.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>There are two ways to change the image used for your backgrounds:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p>Click one of the background images which are shipped with the
          system.</p>
        <note style="info">
          <p>Some wallpapers change throughout the day. These wallpapers have a
          small clock icon in the bottom-right corner.</p>
        </note>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>Click <gui>Add Picture…</gui> to use one of your own photos. By
          default, the <file>Pictures</file> folder will be opened, since most
          photo management applications store photos there.</p>
        </item>
      </list>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>The settings are applied immediately.</p>
        <note style="tip">
          <p>For another way to set one of your own photos as the background,
          right-click on the image file in <app>Files</app> and select <gui>Set
          as Wallpaper</gui>, or open the image file in <app>Image Viewer</app>,
          click the menu button in the titlebar and select <gui>Set as
          Wallpaper</gui>.</p>
