To change the \menu{Background}, either select \button{Wallpapers}, \button{Pictures Folder}, or \button{Colors and Gradients} from the drop-down list. When \button{Wallpapers} is selected, you will see Ubuntu's default selection of backgrounds. To change the background, simply click the picture you would like to use. You're not limited to this selection. To use one of your own pictures, click the \button{+} button and navigate to the image you would like to use. Then double-click the image, and the change will take effect immediately. This image will then be added to your list of available backgrounds. Selecting \button{Pictures Folder} opens your Pictures folder where you can choose a picture for the background. The \button{Colors and Gradients} button allows you to set the background to a solid or gradient color. Click on the \button{Solid Color} button, then the \button{Pick a Color} to choose a solid color. The \button{Vertical Gradient} and \button{Horizontal Gradient} buttons bring up two \button{Pick a Color} buttons. Just choose any two colors you like and see if you have achieved the desired result.
