Hi, this was working before but has been broken by the latest 2.0.2.51 release
dconf reset /desktop/jolla/background/portrait/home_picture_filename
dconf write /desktop/jolla/background/portrait/home_picture_filename "myhomepicture.png"
Any idea how to set the home picture on the command line now? (Without using the gas-factory and closed source ambienced, of course...)
Thanks.

send to dbus com.jolla.ambienced /com/jolla/ambienced com.jolla.ambienced.setAmbience
this will create new ambience by picture and set it as current, return ambience index
then send to com.jolla.ambienced /com/jolla/ambienced com.jolla.ambienced.remove 1 [return of previous command here]
will remove created ambience, but not select any other, homescreen picture will remain until reboot or ambienced refresh
Thanks, I was aware of this solution, but it does not do what I would like. Setting ambience with dbus actually creates a new ambience, i.e. changes the colour themes, zoom into the picture, create an app background etc...
The solution with dconf allowed one to let the sound and colour themes unchanged, to set the application image different than the home one, etc...
This is crazy to not allow users to set the picture they want as a background, it seems that the only way now is to create a new overlay hiding the business of ambienced daemon, crazy!
