I'm using LXDE over Ubuntu 16.04.

My issue is that I can change desktop preferences (like center, tile, stretch) from gdm.

But when I login with LXDE, I can't find 'Desktop Preferences' tab/menu anywhere. I tried right clicking the moment I login, but I don't get any option like that.

Well I googled it and found the in lxde, there are two ways to do that:

  1. Right click -> Desktop Pref.
  2. Menu -> Preferences -> Desktop Pref.

I tried both now.

It seems that these preferences can be access via command line.

If you right click on your desktop, and clock on open terminal, you can try these commands:

Open the preference dialog box

sudo pcmanfm --desktop-pref

One liner to set desktop preference to center

sudo pcmanfm --wallpaper-mode=center

Additional information can be found at the pcmanfm man page (pcmanfm is the lxde file manager): https://www.mankier.com/1/pcmanfm
