Unable to set custom desktop background

[samlane]

Hello and welcome!

This is a known issue with a fix in the works.

"Open" greyed out while trying to change my wallpaper (Budgie 24.04)

So this is my first time trying out Budgie (running Budgie 24.04) as I am coming form other flavors of Ubuntu. Naturally one of the first few things I wanted to do is have my own wallpapers set. So i did the usual right click on desktop, to access the wallpaper changing stuffs. For some odd reason though, the button to Add/Open the wallpaper is greyed out. I posted pictures to show what I am seeing. [Snapshot_2024-06-07_19-47-53] I was able to eventually use gThumb to change my wallpaper,…

In the meantime, you can use gThumb as mentioned in that post, or Nemo to set the background.
