<p>The top drop-down menu specifies if your changes are applied to the current workspace, all workspaces, a specific folder or as default for every new folder.</p>
<p>Below that you can assign an image or select <i>None</i> if you want simply a colored background.</p>
<p>If you are using an image, you have to decide on the placement:</p>
<tr><td><i>Manual</i></td><td> </td><td>lets you specify the coordinates. You can drag the picture around in the preview to the left or enter <i>X</i> and <i>Y</i> manually.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Center</i></td><td> </td><td>centers the picture in the middle of the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><tdclass="onelinetop"><i>Scale to fit</i></td><td> </td><td>enlarges the picture with no regard to its aspect ratio until it fills the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Tile</i></td><td> </td><td>fills the screen by repeating the picture.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>If you are using an image you can activate <i>Icon label outline</i> which will put an thin contour around an icon's label.</p>
<p>If an icon label's actual text is black or white depends on setting of the color picker. A dark color sets the text to white, a light color to black. So, if you assign a very bright image to the background, you should also set the color picker to a bright color in order to have icon labels readable in black. (Or use the outline option above.)<br/>
The selected color is also reflected in the <ahref="../workspaces.html#applet">Workspaces applet</a>, which ignores images as backgrounds.</p>
