About the Default Wallpaper
The Ubuntu 26.04 default wallpaper was designed by Canonical to introduce the Resolute Raccoon mascot. It keeps the purple gradient that has become a recognizable part of Ubuntu’s visual identity but drops the sharp geometric angles of previous releases in favor of a cleaner, softer composition with the raccoon mascot centered in the design.
🌎
Default – Dark
The official default. Raccoon mascot on a deep purple gradient. Ships with every Ubuntu 26.04 install.
☀
Default – Light
