Ubuntu – Ubuntu Wallpapers

wallpaper

I have recently dual-booted my Windows 7 with Ubuntu 14.10 , and I am really enjoying it.
I want to use all the Ubuntu wallpapers for Windows also, how can I get them?
(Where are the Ubuntu wallpapers stored? As in , which directory, so that I can just copy them and get it on Windows 7 also.)

Best Answer

You can actually see where the current background is stored, by running (in a terminal window) the command:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri

I get for example:

'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/Mono_Lake_by_Angela_Henderson.jpg'

That means my wallpaper is stored in /usr/share/backgrounds. In 14.10, that is the default location for wallpapers.
