Change the bold italics bits to suit you and your image names. Save as Whatever you call your wallpaper.desktop
Done.

And stop being precious about people helping you, or adding to your work. D-Ilvil is right.
Is this community is about open source? Kinda?

I always name them .wallpaper-name.desktop so they're hidden files when browsing (like the default ones).

An example for this background set:

Code:

N900:~$ ls -al MyDocs/.images/ | grep schmoke360
-rw-r--r--  1 user root 297169 2010-08-07 08:23 schmoke360a.png
-rw-r--r--  1 user root 346974 2010-08-07 08:23 schmoke360b.png
-rw-r--r--  1 user root 255602 2010-08-07 08:24 schmoke360c.png
-rw-r--r--  1 user root    284 2010-08-07 08:27 .schmoke360.desktop
-rw-r--r--  1 user root 314342 2010-08-07 08:24 schmoke360d.png
N900:~$

I just got home, a little drunk - read the title very fast. I was under the impression that his N900 was reboot looping and it started having blue smoke. Truthfully I am kind of disappointed.

You don't need .desktop file if you have 3200x480 image in images folder. The background selecting tool automatically recognizes it as image set.

I mean, come on, no-one has stolen your thunder and you should be just thankfull that someone made the hue-adjustments for you, saving your time. What's the big deal here?

i am not advertising the smoke creation but the seamlessness which i made. and i was just merely answering the question without the intention of making it a big deal. this sharing thing has become very disappointing.

was there an instance that i even said that i completely made it out of scratch. and if you should ask, i could make some if i wanted to. in 3ds max using particle array and motion blur. but come on. just for a wallpaper?
