Hidden=True

X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_2.png
X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_3.png
X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_4.png
X-Order=01

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?

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 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?
