Hi,
I just installed CentOS 7 + GNOME on my Asus S300 laptop. So far everything runs very nice and smoothly, and I'm quite happy with it.
Curiously enough, I can't seem to be able to set a custom wallpaper. I tried various locations like /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome and /usr/share/backgrounds/images, but the images don't appear in the wallpaper selection window.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Niki Kovacs

Hello Niki,
I believe that you can change your desktop from 'Tweak Tool', which can be found under | Application | Utilities, under the Desktop option you will see Picture URI. On my desktop I simply right click on the desktop and select 'Change Background'.
You can also change the background from the settings.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. The wallpaper can be changed indeed using Tweak Tool. But there's no way custom imported wallpapers can be made to appear in the preview window.
I'm right now discovering GNOME 3 Classic, and I must say I like it. On the other hand, the missing wallpaper review is really a bad design.

Try these instructions, they should be what you are looking for. Section 10.6.2. Adding Extra Backgrounds has instructions for adding new wallpapers system wide.
