ReplyDeleteWe can simply change "wall.jpg" to "defaultimagename.defaultformat". Like in my case I would replace wall.jpg to parigyan.jpeg .However nice attempt! :)

@Parigyan Tamuly. The script says IconArea_Image=wall.jpg so the file should be renamed to wall in this case to get it applied as background. And i dont want to make the script complicated. By the way Nice suggestion :)
