[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Background selection in Journal

[Ignacio Rodríguez]

Hi Sam :)

Does this have a feature page?


Not yet I will write one.

Maybe we could copy it to ".sugar/user-backgrounds" folder?


Sure

I think we should set the background anyway when clicking -Copy to
background- or maybe just remove the Copy to background, and add
"Set as background/wallpaper" what do you think?
