[Bug 868850] Re: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers
The corresponding gsettings comand line would be: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/user/Pictures/wallpaper.xml' But you should be very careful what you put in that XML file. Relative paths aren't supported, for example. If one of the images can't be found, Unity will crash and can only be resurrected by resetting the above to something invalid or a valid picture. While I'd like to have user configurable animated background like you all, I can see that the feature is not quite ready for general consumption yet. Yes, this is a feature request. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868850 Title: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/868850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While Ubuntu development team is working in this issue, you can set your custom slideshow in ubuntu 11.10 as follow. Create a custom slideshow with crebs (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/25549/how-to-create-a-wallpaper- slideshow-in-ubuntu/) After creating it. Crebs store it as a xml file in your $HOME/.crebs Then rename replace crebs xml file to background.xml in the path /usr/share/backsgounds/contest -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868850 Title: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/868850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

mmm no it doesn't work adding a xml background to that folder doesn't make it visible on the control center, adding it to /usr/share/backgrounds doesn't work either, the only way i've found was replacing /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/background-1.xml with my custom xml file. adding them in gnome 2 was just drag and drop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868850 Title: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/868850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK found the link, sorry for the frustration... However, this is an ubuntu bug, since the xml's under /usr/share/gnome-background-properties Namely /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/cosmos.xml /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml Are not even in the list :) only the weird contest one is in the control center in oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868850 Title: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/868850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK figured out what the upstream comment meant :S or :) in any case too much work ~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/ cat ~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/custom-wallpapers.xml EOF ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM gnome-wp-list.dtd wallpapers wallpaper deleted=false namePykler/name filename/home/pykler/.backgrounds/realtime/background.xml/filename optionszoom/options /wallpaper /wallpapers EOF Replace the path and name as needed, launch the Appearance in the gnome- control-center and you will see the new Pykler background.

upstream said it's not a bug That's on purpose. XML backgrounds are usually provided by distributions (and other customisers of the software).
