You forgot some spaces:

gconftool-2[SPACE]-s[SPACE]/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/6/bg-image[SPACE]-t[SPACE]string[SPACE]/home/user/MyDocs/.images/beach.jpg

The correct command is:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/6/bg-image -t string /home/user/MyDocs/.images/beach.jpg

Try this:
  • convert your image in png format
  • put it in /home/user/.backgrounds/
  • rename it "background-x.png" where "x" is the desktop number
and tell me if it works.

If you want to convert the image on the N900, you can install imagemagick (as root, "apt-get install imagemagick") and the use the command "convert jpg_image.jpg png_image.png".

Or you could try this....


cd /home/user/MyDocs
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do wget http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/backgrounds/$i.png ; done
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/active -t list --list-type int [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/$i/bg-image -t string /home/user/MyDocs/$i.png ; done


that will do it.

(Edit) Once you have done that reboot and all your screens will have no's 1-9... or how ever many you have set to use..
then find the wallpaper you want in your images open it up and then set as the background.. same way you would set the back ground before you had the extra screens..

Kind regards Qosmio

I had modified-hildon-desktp latest (from the repo) when I updated ota to pr1.3. Now I don't have the modified functionality (no more 6 screens, arrow keys dead, menu shortcuts too) but app manager shows the package. However I can't uninstall. I cant reeinstall with apt-get either (package cannot be downloaded)
Any Ideas?

There is an updated modified-hildon-desktop package (version 3.2) in my repository. Make sure my repository is enabled, and try running (as root)

apt-get update
apt-get install modified-hildon-desktop

(and post the output if it does not work).

Note that you also need to install an enhanced hildon-home package for more than 4 views. See here:
