Missing stock wallpapers

Post by error! »

I have just installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 64-bit. I've changed the theme around a bit to change the look of my desktop but I am unable to find the stock wallpapers for the Cinnamon theme and other themes I've downloaded.

For clarity, I meant wallpapers like this that should have come with the theme.

I've tried looking for it in the Backgrounds setting but to no avail. I realize that I can download the images online but I would like to know whether I've simply missed it or if this might be a sign that something hasn't installed properly.

My mint 17 install came with 24 background images. I haven't bothered to change it.

Why not? Customizing a new desktop is half the fun. :)

Why not? Because I nearly always have applications running and covering up the desktop. I'll probably put something else up eventually, but it's just not a priority to change something that I only rarely see.
