Having just successfully upgraded from Leap 15.4 to 15.5, I would like to switch to an aesthetically more attractive (Gnome) background picture. There are no alternatives offered under Gnome settings. Where might I find some and what is the technique to install one (e.g. the old 15.4 picture)?
Install “gnome-backgrounds” and that should give you more choices.

If you have the image file you want to use, you can just right-click the background and select “Change Background…”. The Appearance settings will come up, and there’s an “Add Picture” button you can use to add your own.

Thanks guys. That did it. Although I didn’t find the nice standard 15.4 pic. But all the gnome-background pics are better than the installed 15.5 one with the 4 green and blue-shaded horizontal bars in he bottom third of the screen.
You can get the 15.4 images by downloading the branding-openSUSE package for 15.4 - I wouldn’t install it on 15.5 (mixing versions can lead to issues), but you could extract the image from the RPM using:
rpm2cpio ./wallpaper-branding-openSUSE-15.4.20220322-lp154.2.3.noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv
Looks like the file is at branding-openSUSE-15.4.20220322-lp154.2.3.noarch.rpm
I would put this in a temporary directory before extracting it. You’ll then see a directory structure created in that directory (./usr/share/wallpapers/) in which you’ll find the wallpapers from 15.4.
