8.2 Look and Feel Settings<br />

Look and Feel lets you change your desktop background, choose fonts, screensavers,<br />

and themes, and customize window behavior.<br />

8.2.1 Changing the Desktop Background<br />

The desktop background is the image or color that is applied to your desktop. You can<br />

customize the desktop background in the following ways:<br />

• Select an image for the desktop background. The image is superimposed on the<br />

desktop background color. The desktop background color is visible if you select a<br />

transparent image or if the image does not cover the entire desktop.<br />

• Select a color for the desktop background. You can select a solid color or create a<br />

gradient effect with two colors (where one color blends gradually into another<br />

color).<br />

You can also change the appearance <strong>of</strong> your desktop background from within the<br />

Nautilus file manager. To use an image file as a background picture, drag it from the<br />

file manager and drop it into Desktop Wallpaper.<br />

If you do not want any background picture, click No Wallpaper and select a desktop<br />

color instead.<br />

8.2.2 Selecting Fonts<br />

Use Font Preferences to select the fonts to use in your applications, windows, terminals,<br />

and desktop. The upper part <strong>of</strong> the dialog shows the fonts selected for the application,<br />

desktop, window title, and terminal. Click one <strong>of</strong> the buttons to open a selection dialog<br />

where you can set the font family, style, and size.<br />
