Can't Change KDM wallpaper/background [Solved'ish]

Hi, any suggestions welcome.
I am using KDE4.3
I want to change the blue background with bubbles to just black, I have tried all settings in systemsettings both as root and as user with no change.
As a last resort I have even changed every blue bubble (oxygen air) image in /usr/* that I can find to black, only to find I still have blue bubbles on login/splash.
I have also tried both Ksplash and Kdm generators, but neither changes wallpaper.
please help me
Tim

no change
btw, KDM is set to auto log me in, so i don't even see the login page, just a splash.
EDIT
Have just tried ksplash-oxyarch from the AUR, works perfectly giving me a black splash background.
It needed kde-meta-kdebase that was not installed before, I have no idear if this was affecting my ability to change the background.
Anyway...solved'ish

After OS X 10.8.5, i cannot change my wallpaper background, it always jams and become irresponsive, can anybody help me out?

I solved the problem, turns out my previous MLion or Lion OS was having bugs and corrupted. So when i update and install a new OS on top of previous corrupted one, it will be still corrupted. So i backup all my files and formatted my Mac using (Option key during startup) then reinstall MLion and everything works perfectly fine. I had a 8GB pendrive with Mac OS X Install file in it. The file was around 4++GB. So after formatting, i rebooted with (Hold option key duuring restart) then log in to my pendrive, and installation of fresh new copy of the OS started automaticaly, Now everything works perfectly fine.

Can i change the preview background color?

Hi
can i change the preview background color?
it's gray , may i change it?
thanks
i use bridge cs6

can i change the preview background color?
Yes you can do so in the Bridge preferences under general both Ui interface and image backdrop can be changed
In the same preferences Cache you can change the location of the central cache to where ever you will. But you have to realize that if you use an external disk this can cause all kinds of problems regarding speed, performance and permission issues. best to keep it on an internal disk and having an SSD available will be even better because you will benefit from performance and speed very much.
it's gray , may i change it?
As long as you have a legal version and it is able to change then feel free to set it to your own custom wishes...

Can't change a wallpaper

I can't change a wallpaper on my MacBook. Whatever I do it remains the same. I've already cleaned all the cashe, installed the 10.7.4 Combo Update, tryed onyx osx, but nothing worked for me. What could be the problem and how to resolve it?

That command can't cause a white screen, all it does is restore your desktop's default settings as it was shipped. Thus, some other software is interefering with your system.
1. Are you using any alternative finder program like Path Finder, for example?
2. Does doing a control-click on the desktop bring up a menu?
3. If the answer to 1 is 'No' and 2 is 'Yes', post the list of apps shown here:
 > System Preferences > Users & Groups | Login Items

You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

Can i change the black background where I see pictures

When looking at my pictures, the background is grey, but when I double click them, (big size) the background becomes black. So I don't see the outline of some pictures. Can you change that background?

No. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

System Preferences Frozen!! Can't Change my Wallpaper!!

Everytime I try to change my wallpaper or my screen saver, I can't click a single thing before the rainbow ball comes up and doesn't let me do anythhing else inside System Preferences. I have to force wuit every time and this only happens when i try to change my wallpaper or screen saver. My iMac runs OS X Version 10.7.4 and is the newest model out there. Apple has not made a newer iMac than the one I have. HELP!

DOwnload and install the OS X Lion client combo. It is safe to do and will hopefully fill in the gaps. If you can I would drag the Sys Prefs app to the Trash so that the install replaces it with a new one.

There is no option to change the background color in the messages app, other than selecting settings>general>accessibility>invert colors, but this changes the colors of everything.

How change the wallpaper/background with a command line ?

Hi people,
did someone know how change the wallpaper with a command line ?
thx a lot

Hi,
I think this can be done with PowerShell. We could create a function to set wallpaper:
Function Set-WallPaper($Value)
Set-ItemProperty -path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop\' -name wallpaper -value $value
rundll32.exe user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
Open PowerShell; paste the function above in it to make this function work.
Now, if you want to change some wallpaper, you could type the following text:
Set-WallPaper -value "the path of you wallpaper"
If you are interested, I would like to share the following article with you for your reference:

How can I change the back background?

Look at my website: www.iphoneappguru.com . I need to change the green background on my page, how can i do that?
Thanks!

You won't really be able to because you have used the Fine Line theme in iWeb. This is a fixed width template that uses images and the green image that you want to change is part of the footer.
What you can do is reduce the footer to 0 and the green disappears.
Your other option is to cover the footer area with a text box that is colour filled with the colour that you want. So create your text box and fill it with whatever colour you want and to get it down to the footer section you need to drag and drop whilst holding down the command key so you can then drag it in to the footer section. Ensure that the height and width are correct and you will then have covered the footer with a colour filled text box using the colour of your choice.
My other suggestion would be not to use this theme to start with. It is not very good with the colours that you have going on your site and the blue, green and orange seem to clash rather than go together.
Why not consider changing your template to a blank white one? If you do this you can alter the widths of your site and you can also use whatever colours that you want. Just don't think that the Fine Line template is right for what you have created.

Hi,
First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

In system preferences I can not change my wallpaper; it just freezes

I need help; today I went to change my wallpaper and the system preferences froze; I did everything from repair disk to safe boot and still it is frozen; have the new Mountain Lion system. also in my preference folder there is no list for desktop or system preferences; what is going on?

First follow the instructions in this support article:
System Preferences stops responding after viewing Desktop & Screen Saver pane
If there's no change, continue as below.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

Since the IOS 7 update, I can't down size when I'm changing my wallpaper background. It goes back to the previous size before it will set. What is wrong?

I've never had this problem before IOS 7. My wallpapers don't fit the screen properly and won't resize before saving. Is this happening to anyone else? HELP!

Ok, I just found the solution Thank God
You see how with the new update the icons move as you tilt the phone to give you that "fancy" 3D look, well because of this the wallpaper gets distorted.
I turned this option off, and the wallpaper resizing issue went away
Here is how to turn that dumb 3D option off (which also drains your battery):
Navigate to the iOS 7 Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> ON
Yep, that's all.
Enjoy
