Background not changing

[rayzwastaken]

I could be stupid and not actually changing the config file right, but for some reason the background will not change to the specified picture. The following are what I have tried: background=/home/ray/Pictures/my silly cat.png background=/home/ray/Pictures/"my silly cat.png" background=/home/ray/Pictures/"my silly cat".png background=/home/ray/Pictures/'my silly cat.png' background=/home/ray/Pictures/'my silly cat'.png background=/home/ray/Pictures/mysillycat.png background=///home/ray/Pictures/mysillycat.png background=mysillycat.png There are probably some others that I forgot about, almost all of these have also been done in .jpg format, and at some point of trial and error, the background just turned pure white, making all of the text unreadable. I just reinstalled the theme which fixed that. Anything I'm doing wrong or other things I should try?

Did you clear backgroundFill property in config? Do you have permissions to read this image?

(oops i closed it on accident i havent used github in a year) I tried a few different things, it still isnt working. I cleared backgroundFill, which made the screen pure white, I tried moving the image to /home/ray/ which I definitely have permissions in, and the image has read & write permissions. I also tried changing the picture to a different picture, but still never worked. This is my config after all of this:

[General]
passwordCharacter=*
background=/home/ray/abc.png
backgroundFill=
backgroundFillMode=aspect
cursorColor=

I am using completely AMD, and I know you were having problems with AMDGPUs, could it be that? Thanks.

I was able to set the background image by putting the image login.jpg in the theme directory and setting background=login.jpg

Copying the background image to the theme path fixes the issue.
