    1 : sorry for my english... :oops:

    1.5 : no SDcard in the one!!!

    2 : if you want to save the originals yellow, orange, green and blue square! else go to point 4

    su -
    (password)
    cd /usr/share/backgrounds/images/
    cp blue-bk.png green-bk.png yellow-bk.png orange-bk.png /home/user/Pictures/

    close the terminal

    3 : open "my files" create new file in /home/user/Pictures/ "pngback" for example copy and paste the 4 originals files in it

    4 : choose 4 pictures in .png (you can use gimp to convert youre jpeg or other pictures) size 491x138 pix and paste in /home/user/Pictures/ rename them in blue-bk.png orange..

    5 : in a terminal again

    su -
    (password)
    cd /home/user/Pictures/
    cp blue-bk.png green-bk.png yellow-bk.png orange-bk.png /usr/share/backgrounds/images/

    say "y" for overwriting the files

    close terminal

    6 : reboot

    7 : et voila :)

    if you want to change the large yellow, green, blue and orange backgrounds

    same thing but filename are each "color"-bk-large.png etc etc and the pictures are in 984x318 pix

    the small line blue etc etc name for example home-green-title.png 491x40 pix (not in black because the texts titles are in black :) (i want to know how to change the text color in white))

    good luck! ;)
