Comment (by humdinger):
Seems to be a matter of opinion. IMO, we only should ship a handful of
unique Haiku wallpapers and put them in /system/data/artwork. If more
packages come along that put them there as well, so be it. Personally, I
wouldn't get a pack of wallpapers, most of which I won't like and cannot
delete.
I find a wallpaper online, download it somewhere to /boot/home/ and set
it. I would've thought most people do that when they're unsatisfied with
the bundled images. I also use ShowImage to browse a folder of images an
set the background from there.
I do think we could have the preview of the Backgrounds file dialog
bigger. The current size probably dates back to resolutions of BeOS days
(max 1024x768). Preview size could even be resolution dependent.
