Is there a way to change the background/wallpaper...

Thanks in advance!

Hi to change the login background, just right click on your desktop, select Change Desktop Background, select what background you want, then set it a default by pressing the set default button, then change your desktop background back to what it was.

Edit forgot to mention this only seems to work with selinux off for me and restarting on an updated f11

Thanks. It didn't work at first, but then I realized I had to put the wallpaper I wanted into the /usr/share/backgrounds directory as well.
