  <title>Set custom background</title>

  <p>You can change the default desktop background to one that you want to use.
  For example, you may want to use a background with your company or university
  logo instead of the default GNOME background.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>Set the default background</title>
    <include href="dconf-snippets.xml"
             xpointer="xpointer(/*/*[@xml:id='dconf-profile-user'])"
             xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
    <include href="dconf-snippets.xml"
             xpointer="xpointer(/*/*[@xml:id='dconf-profile-user-dir'])"
             xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
    <item>
      <p>Create the key file
      <file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-background</file> to provide
      information for the <sys>local</sys> database.</p>
      <listing>
        <title><file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-background</file></title>
<code>
# Specify the dconf path
[org/gnome/desktop/background]

# Specify the path to the desktop background image file
picture-uri='file:///usr/local/share/backgrounds/wallpaper.jpg'

# Specify one of the rendering options for the background image:
picture-options='scaled'

# Specify the left or top color when drawing gradients, or the solid color
primary-color='000000'

# Specify the right or bottom color when drawing gradients
secondary-color='FFFFFF'

	<p>Provide information about the different picture-options
	values. Possibly also about when and how colors are used
	and what the gradient does.</p>

      content:</p>
