xwallpaper is a program that allows you to chnage your background setting without any comntaning any bloatware

I will be demostrating how to use the program and some of the most common commands. Some linux distros have walallpaper pre-installed these distros handle their own wallpaper. So xwallpaper will not work.

Start by making sure that you are in the correct folder where the image you intent to use as your wallpaper or else it will not be able to find the image.

cd /home/user/back
        

to use xwallpaper is simple as this. Just specific what the image name and just hit run. The command --center will center the image in the center of your display.

With xwallpaper you must specific what you want to do with the image or else it will give you an error. --maximize zoom your image until it hits any border. While --zoom stretches the image to fit the display resulution

Using the --tile command will kept the image ratio but cover any gaps with the image

Running this command will give you a list of commmands you can explore
