Installing wallpapers into the backgrounds folder in Enlightenment E17.
Installing wallpapers with the E17 window manager is very easy, mostly like the older Enlightenment E16 window manager. You may either copy the wallpapers into the ~/.e/e/backgrounds/ folder or import them with the backgrounds settings dialog.

The background wallpaper selection dialog allows you to import *.jpg or *.png files as wallpaper for your E17 desktop. This is a nice way to spruce up your desktop. The Enlightenment E17 desktop allows animated desktop wallpapers, this is a change from a static image.
Here is a very nice theme for the E17 desktop, this is very reminiscent of the Elive default theme.
