In order for you to apply the four images easily to the desktops there needs to be the *.desktop file. The contents of the *.desktop file are easily edited and the contents merely point the phone to the correct images and sequence to display them in. Example code would be thus;

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Background Image
Name=Liquid
Hidden=True
X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/.Liquid_01.jpg
X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/.Liquid_02.jpg
X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/.Liquid_03.jpg
X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/.Liquid_04.jpg
X-Order=01

All you have to do is place the four images and the *.desktop file in the

Code:

.images

folder in MyDocs and then when on your desktop, hit it to bring up the settings icon, go to "Change Background" and select the image set applicable, in the case of the above *.desktop excerpt, the image set is called "Liquid".

Simples!
