I don't know if I really like this background though it is kind of neat. Where do I find the app to change this?

I did this so long ago, I just don't notice it every time (dayly!) that I right click to open a terminal window! I got the kids involved and gnome curves was selected. Perhaps I will move the FC9 background over. They liked that one.

Someone did a great job on the new graphic, but it is just not for me...

Great work and thanks to all involved!It is beautiful artwork, but my vision is so skewed contrast-wise, that I cannot look at the screen with it showing. I need low contrast backgrounds. I wear sunglasses insides a lot, and suffer a lot outdoors. An Ophthalmologist once told be to be thankful I don't have the opposite condition, as I can always 'darken' a room with sunglasses. So I don't complain, just adjust my surroundings as much as I can... Of course, I tend to have a dozen apps open on each workspace so it is rare to actually SEE the background :)
