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.
