can't reset background to default

[Jamie Strandboge]

Setting the background works great, however, after I set a picture, I can't undo the action. Ie, if I set a picture, I can't go back and set it to the default.

IMO the gallery app could show the default (and some stock wallpapers)

Hey mpt, do you have any opinion on that?

This is already specced: the default image should be in the "Ubuntu Art" section, so you can reselect it.

Well, that design came late for v1, I guess it's going to be an issue to resolve for next cycle...

Since the background selection page looks anyway different right now, how about we include a button 'use default background' or 'revert to default' that's below the selection screen? This would be a temporary solution, but that's better than nothing I guess.

Thanks Łukasz. Unfortunately that makes the button the only obviously interactive thing on the screen -- strongly suggesting that resetting the background is the only thing you can do!

As long as this is temporary, could you add two buttons instead of one?
- "Change…", which would do the same as tapping on the image
- "Use Original Background", which would reset.

Make sure the "Use Original Background" button is insensitive whenever the current image *is* the original.

Thank you for your comment! I have taken those things into consideration - submitting a screenshot of the current looks. Hope it's feasible.

Thanks for the work Łukasz, I did a code review and commented on the merge request, some UI comments:

- the divider lines look weird, we should probably hide those

- the spacing/alignment of the buttons look weird to me. It feels like that the space between the image and the button should be at least the same than between the top divider and the image, and that the left/right borders should be aligned either on the image or on the borders of the screen ...

I'm not a designer though ... mpt, what do you think?
