The "Wallpaper Info" pane displays some general
information about a selected wallpaper. The first thing that is
displayed is the type of the wallpaper which can be an Image Wallpaper, Gradient Wallpaper or URL Wallpaper. The name of the wallpaper is
displayed below the wallpaper type. For file-based wallpapers, only
the filename is shown. When you click on the little arrow on the
right of the filename, the name will be expanded and the full path
of the wallpaper will be shown.
Width and height displays the width respectively height of the
selected wallpaper. For gradient wallpapers this will be n/a
because there is no real size of a gradient wallpaper. The last
thing in the Wallpaper Info pane is a little preview of the
selected wallpaper.
The second section is called "Wallpaper Tags". Get more details about this section.
