Go toĀ File Station and open your favorite shared folder, in my case, web. Inside your primary shared folder, create one new folder and name it wallpapers. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
Note: web is an example of a shared folder. You have to create the wallpapers folder inside one of your shared folders, not necessarily web.

if [ ! -n "$title" ];then
cninfo=$(echo $copyright|sed 's/,/"/g'|sed 's/,/"/g'|sed 's/(/"/g'|sed 's/ //g'|sed 's/\//_/g'|sed 's/)//g')
title=$(echo $cninfo|cut -d'"' -f1)

fi
sed -i s/login_background_customize=.*//g /etc/synoinfo.conf

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guidesĀ forget to support my work, or justĀ ignoreĀ STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
