Description Rodd Clarkson 2002-05-30 04:08:30 UTC 
The current description in the background Preferences for the background
colors is confusing, and should be changed to something more easily understood.

Currently it reads, "Border picture with a:"  Does this mean that each
image will have a colored border with the background is Wallpaper?  Or that
a Centered image will have a narrow color border around it?  I know what it
means, but it is unclear.

I propose that is should read, "Set background color as a:" with the
following options: solid, horizontal gradient, vertical gradient.

Agree with this UI change, "border with" is very confusing.
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2002-08-21 17:25:30 UTC 
Recent releases changed this to 'Background Style' and adjusts the colour names.
