    Question Google Homepage

    I know I must be missing something obvious but, how do you change the Google homepage wallpaper on Ubuntu 12.04 (trying to avoid installing Picasa on Wine)? Thanks, lizandeen

    There's a link below the page (left side) that says Change background image. Click it then select the image you want to make as background of your Google homepage.

    If you have a google account, just upload your image from your system to picasa web, it's cloud based and doesn't install on your system.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly but I was wondering if there was a way to do it without using Picasa?

    Unfortunately, the option to upload a picture from the computer is no longer available. So the only way to change it is to have a Picasa Web Album account, upload the photo you want and pick it from the selections.

    Thanks-I had a feeling the personal option had vanished, seems to happening a lot these days!
