Hello everyone;
I posted a thread about this earlier but it was done incorrectly, so I will try it once more.

This is what I would like to see permanently on my user interface on my screen.

It disappears from the user interface after I have cleared the last old theme picture.

Anyone know a code to make it stay permanently.

Ctrl + Alt + N is the keyboard shortcut for next desktop background. See if this works.

Hmm.. I’m stumped. Will look into it and see if I can replicate it for you, and reply if I have any worthy findings

I wanted to reply to this old thread as a reference, because I wanted this removed from my context menu.
