 <title>Change the desktop background</title>
 
-<p>You can change the background directly from the desktop. To do this, right-click anywhere on the desktop, making sure not to click on an icon, and choose the <gui>Change Desktop Background</gui> option. </p>
-
-<p>A more indirect approach would be clicking on your name in the upper-right corner, and choose <gui>System Settings</gui> and select <gui>Preferences</gui>. Then, in the <gui>Personal</gui> section, choose <gui>Background</gui>. </p>
-
-<p>Under the <gui>Background tab</gui>, select an image for the desktop background. The selected image will be superimposed on the desktop background color. </p>
-
-<p>You can use a color instead of an image as a desktop background. To set the desktop background color, select a color from the available options. A solid color or a gradient of two colors may be used. </p>
-
-<p>To finish, just click <gui>Close</gui>. </p>
-
-<note style="tip">
- <p>When using an image as a background, the desktop background color becomes visible if the image is transparent or if the image does not cover the entire desktop.</p>
-</note>
+<p>You can change the image used on your desktop background, or set
+it to a simple color or gradient.</p>
+
+<steps>
+  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Click <gui>Background</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Select an image or color. The settings are applied immediately.
+  <link xref="shell-workspaces-switch">Switch to an empty workspace</link>
+  to view your entire desktop.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>There are three choices in the drop-down list on the left.</p>
+
+<list>
+  <item><p>Select <gui>Wallpapers</gui> to use one of the many professional
+  background images that ship with GNOME. Some wallpapers are partially
+  transparent and allow a background color to show through. For these
+  wallpapers, there will be a color selector button in the bottom right.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Select <gui>Pictures Folder</gui> to use one of your own photos
+  from your Pictures folder. Most photo management applications
+  store photos there.</p></item>
+  <item><p>You can also select <gui>Colors &amp; Gradients</gui> to just
+  use a flat color or a linear gradient. Color selector buttons will appear
+  in the bottom right corner.</p></item>
+</list>
+
+<p>You can also browse for any picture on your computer by clicking
+the <gui>+</gui> button. Any picture you add this way will show up
+under <gui>Pictures Folder</gui>. You can remove it from the list
+by selecting it and clicking the <gui>-</gui> button.</p>
