* Targeted release: 0.96
* Last updated: 11.14.2011
* Percentage of completion: 0%

== Detailed Description ==
Since we are replacing Hippo, it is relatively trivial to add a background image to the Home View. The image could be set from the Sugar control panel.

== Benefit to Sugar ==
Deployments could customize backgrounds for l12n purposes. Uses could customize the look of their machines. Background could add some structure to the Home View.

== Scope ==
The changes would be to sugar/src/jarabe/desktop favoriteview.py and to the Sugar control panel

== How To Test ==
