As a new Linux user one of the first things I set out to do was customize my Ubuntu installation. I started to explore the main desktop and window options and I discovered that window backgrounds can be modified to use whichever picture a user designates. The user can also add Emblems to their files and folders to help identify contents at a glance. The guide below will walk you through the process of modifying an existing window background with colors or patterns and how to quickly assign emblems to your files. The last part of the tutorial will demonstrate how easy it is to add your own patterns, colors, and emblems to your Ubuntu installation. If you have any comments or questions please post them below.
