      @pavelprosto isn't it possible if you host the wallpaper in your app folder?

        @pavelprosto Just saw that we can now edit uHome by long pressing on a widget of our choice and TELEports icon. Thanks also for french meteo !

              Thing that would be more convinient, is the widget colors settings not reseted each time you open the color to choose.

              Glad to ear you soon release your app on the open-store 🙂

              PS : you didn't answered my question above ^^

                "my background is the same between uHome and uTouch"

                This version of the UHome app has the permission to read the user's wallpaper. The final version of this feature will not be able to.
                "/var/lib/AccountsService/users/phablet"
                /var/lib/lightdm-data/phablet/ubuntu-system-settings/Pictures/"

                perrmission to be removed
                But don't worry, you can add your own wallpapers via the Content Hub.

                "isn't it possible if you host the wallpaper in your app folder?"

                Yes it possible for programm, but don't possible for me. I'm not a professional artist, I'm not a professional photographer, I'm just a programmer. Without the perrmission to read the standard uToch wallpaper, you end up with a black screen.
                in final version read this folder perrmission to be removed
                "/usr/share/backgrounds/"
                But don't worry, and thanks to everyone for your help! A very beautiful surprise awaits us in the final version 😃

                "the widget colors settings not reseted each time you open the color to choose."

                uToch does not contain a color selection dialog. I am using ColorPicker from @rshest. it does not support this function.
                But don't worry, I am developing my ColorDialog and it may be included in the final release.

                  That's not a problem, just make it possible to add custom wallpapers in your app, hosted in app folder.

                  If someone wants the same wallpaper as uTouch core OS one, he just has to use file explorer and then copy/paste one to your app dedicated wallpaper folder .

                  And if you need a default custom one, lot of people here can help you make/find one (open source of course), and even, you can yourself copy the uTouch default one(s) to past in app wallpaper folder, they are open-source after all ^^

                    No, can't. Each image has its own copyright. Photo contributors have submitted these images for use by uToch, but not for uHome. The only way to use them is if the user has chosen them to be displayed as the desktop wallpaper.

                        Ahh... i though all in uTouch OS was open-source (like in or equal to GNU GPLv3)...

                        Anyway, a community one or even a find on web one can make it... https://wallpapercave.com/open-source-wallpapers
                        https://wallpapercave.com/search?q=ubuntu

                        https://www.qwant.com/?client=qwant-firefox&q=open+source+wallpaper&t=web

                        I say it again, that's not a problem to not be able to use the uTouch wallpaper folder ^^

                          Hi @pavelprosto Thank you for the last uVideo update and your uHome link. Just to say that there isn't icon by default for uVideo on uHome even if uVideo link works and we can install an icon by editing uHome. I don't open a new uVideo 'issue'..

                                @pavelprosto Thanks again for your useful great work. Nice surprise to be able to alternate background images and import personal images: the latter cannot be removed directly from the list I think (unless we do it through the cache).
                                Would it be possible for fun to 'play' a gif format in the background, as it installs without playing?
                                Personally, what I miss is only Dekko.

                                    I was unable to shut down or restart my BQ E5 HD through the Shutdown window : buttons frozen. I had to do a forced shutdown.

                                    I would advise to completely erase the uHome and Weather widget apps installed by the forum, as well as the config data cache of these apps, and then install the official versions from the Openstore.

                                    Or if you have already installed over the two apps of the forum those of the Openstore, do the same : delete all as said and install again from the Openstore : i did that and It seems to have solved the problem of no shutdown for me.

                                        I did like @domubpkm describes using UTTT and all fine.

                                            @domubpkm Re-installing did the trick, thank you. I can now switch off normally.

                                            I note that on re-installation my previous settings for the Home application still existed so app removal can not have been as complete as I expected.
