    I don't understand? Are you just saying sorry for changing your dekstop (which you dont need to , most people change, i certainly did)...

    Or do you want help changing it?

    Right click the desktop, go to "Change desktop backgrond", click "Add" and chose the background you want.

    If you want a different wallpaper and icon and other similar stuff,you can look for Art Manager under Applications->Add/Remove and it will let you dowload the previews of the wallpaper & co,before you download them.

    Don't apologize. The freedom to choose your own background, among others, is yours.

    Try devianart for background/wallpaper options. Other sites exist, too. Google for "wallpapers"

    No, you must have the same wallpaper as everybody else. Why are you trying to be difficult?
