Where are the desktop wallpapers stored for colors & gradients?

  • 772

I see the picture wallpapers are stored in /usr/share/backgrounds but I want to know where the files are being stored when I select System Settings > Appearance > Colors & Gradients.

Where can I get the .jpg or .png of just the color?

    They are not stored as file anywhere. They're defined in dconf database. Specifically these schemas:

    /org/gnome/desktop/background/color-shading-type

/org/gnome/desktop/background/secondary-color

/org/gnome/desktop/background/primary-color

    If you run in terminal dconf watch / and then change to vertical gradient, and then change one of the colors, you will see what schemas get changed:

    $ dconf watch /
/org/gnome/desktop/background/color-shading-type
  'vertical'
/org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-options
  'none'
/org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri
  ''
