Good day, I have found where the user Wallpapers are stored and I can add some there. I would like to add some Wallpaper to the System location however I cannot find it. It appears to be someplace in usr/share but I am unable to locate it?? I looked in the WIKI and did some searching in the forum but I could not find any information on adding your own wallpaper to the System file. I did find many items with custom wallpapers however they do not describe how to get these into the System Wallpaper location.
thanks...

/usr/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds
Be aware the wallpaper has to be in edj format.
May I know the reason you want to add wallpapers to the system? Just curious...

Thanks for the response and I now see the System Wallpapers. I am new to Bodhi so I have created a couple of new users to play with. I have one called test so I can mess around and if I really mess up its easy to just blow away the test userid and start again. Instead of having each user with a bunch of wallpapers I thought it would be better to put them all into the System area. In a userid, I found the backgrounds at .e/e/backgrounds and they show up when you display the wallpaper function. I have .jpg and .png files in there and they seem to work just fine. I did notice that system ones where in .edj format but wanted to try .jpg anyway. The next problem I have is how to copy a file into /usr/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds ?? I need to be in root but can't figure out how to do that. I thought one of the file managers would ask for root pw and then allow me to do it but no luck so far. Any thoughts on copying to system backgrounds to do some testing?? I also have a bunch of icons that I have collected and would like to add them to the System Icons but one step at a time.

open terminal, cd to the folder where your wallpaper is and type:
sudo cp wallpaper.edj /usr/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds

You can add Open as Root function in the Thunar File Manager. Choose Edit and then Configure custom actions...
At the right should be a + where you can add a custom action. The Name and Description can be anything you want. Basic: Name: Open as Root Description: Open as Root Command: thunar admin://%f Appearance Conditions: File pattern: * Appears if selection contains: there are 6 selections to choose from. I currently have none of them checked. |

You can also type "admin:///usr/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds" in the thunar address bar to open that folder as root.
You can also right click on png/jpg from thunar to make them moksha wallpaper.

I created a folder in home called 'wallpaper' which contained all the old wallpaper that I had. I then did
sudo cp wallpaper/*.* /usr/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds
and all the wallpaper files where copied to the System. When I go to Settings/Wallpaper and select System, all the new wallpaper is there. Both .jpg and.png files work fine so far.
I had previously put some into home/.e/e/backgrounds and they showed up Personal
kev392 thanks for the thunar tip. I created an Open Root and that now shows File.
thanks for the great assistance....
