I don't know if I really like this background though it is kind of neat.
Where do I find the app to change this?

Right-click on the desktop, select "Change Desktop Background" from the menu.

Oh, of course....
I did this so long ago, I just don't notice it every time (dayly!) that I right click to open a terminal window!
I got the kids involved and gnome curves was selected. Perhaps I will move the FC9 background over. They liked that one.

I just did a Google Image search for "centos 5 wallpaper" and found the "old" CentOS 5 background. It was 1024x768 so it was perfect for me.

I still have a couple systems not upgraded, what is the file name of the "old" wallpaper and what directory will I find it in???

---- It would be "redhat-logos" is the Package name" redhat-logos-4.9.99-11.el5.centos,, But the version you want is older that that. You can browse through the mirrir sites to get it. Then you can extract the backgrounds out of the package.

You want to look into /usr/share/backgrounds/images/ for "CentOS wallpapers". If you have updated and lost them, you can get them from:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/desktop-backgrounds-basic...

I believe the name of the file is 'default.jpg' -- although the new version shows three other defaults... default-5_4.jpg, default-dual.jpg and default-dual-wide.jpg. I'm guessing the old files had the same four names.

Alright! Got them off the old system. same name, so I renamed them old-default* and hopefully if there is some update, I won't loose them.
Someone did a great job on the new graphic, but it is just not for me...
Good Evening.
I spend some time to create a more 'classic' CentOS theme.
# Wallpaper
You can find the 4:3 wallpaper here:
http://www.marcus-moeller.de/share/classic/wallpaper.png
Widescreen will follow
# GRUB
Download the matching GRUB Splash here:
http://www.marcus-moeller.de/share/classic/splash.xpm.gz
To activate this, you can first backup the original one with:
cp /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz.orig
and the copy the new one over:

http://www.marcus-moeller.de/share/classic/classic_gdm.tar.bz2
and extract it to the GDM themes folder with:
tar xvjf Classic.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/gdm/themes/
To activate this theme, open Alt+F2 and enter gdmsetup (if it's not there, first yum install it)
# RHGB
The large CentOS RHGB logo really looks good with the Classic theme:
http://www.marcus-moeller.de/share/classic/large-computer.png
You can first backup the original logo with:
cp /usr/share/rhgb/large-computer.png /usr/share/rhgb/large-computer.png.orig
and then copy the new one over
cp /path/to/the/downloaded/large-computer.png /usr/share/rhgb/large-computer.png
...
I am going to push it into a SVN branch as soon as I find some time ;)
Best Regards Marcus

Downloaded. Thank you.

Same here. New graphic looks nice but, for me, the high contrast on the right side makes the separation between (light) windows and a (dark) desktop less clear...

No body complained when the graphics were in testing and posted on the list.

So a majority of desktop users must like it... Anyway, desktops tastes vary a lot from people to people; you cannot please everybody.

My fiance (who is the artistic one of the family) thinks the new graphics are beautiful and i agree with her.

Me too! I checked the artwork when it was announced and I liked it already then. Great work and thanks to all involved!
It is beautiful artwork, but my vision is so skewed contrast-wise, that I cannot look at the screen with it showing. I need low contrast backgrounds. I wear sunglasses insides a lot, and suffer a lot outdoors. An Ophthalmologist once told be to be thankful I don't have the opposite condition, as I can always 'darken' a room with sunglasses. So I don't complain, just adjust my surroundings as much as I can...
Of course, I tend to have a dozen apps open on each workspace so it is rare to actually SEE the background :)

I've still got an old Pentium III using 5.2 -- I'll do the same. Thanks.
As for the new wallpaper, I like it -- it grabbed my attention. The problem is that it didn't let go of it -- the background always wants to be in the foreground.
