I want to change the wallpaper of the chromium OS when building an image. I can't seem to locate the folders or scripts responsible for modifying such files/pictures.

Also, you can as well point me to some useful resources on how assets are generated and how one can modify them in general.

the wallpapers live under /usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper/.  so backtrack to see what packages install those files via `qfile-$BOARD /usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper/`.

Thank you for the tip. I ran the command you suggested above inside the chroot but it seems the wallpaper directory isn't found in my build
file: Could not read real path of "/build/amd64-generic/usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper/": No such file or directory

I only get the following folders when I view the contents of  /build/am64-generic/usr/share/chromeo-assets directory
crosh_builtin  images  images_100_percent  images_200_percent  input_methods  speech_synthesis  text

Any other tip will be helpful. Thanks.

For me the output indicates the originating package is chromeos-base/chromeos-assets:

(chroot) $ qfile-$BOARD /usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper/
chromeos-base/chromeos-assets (/usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper)
 
I only get the following folders when I view the contents of  /build/am64-generic/usr/share/chromeo-assets directory
crosh_builtin  images  images_100_percent  images_200_percent  input_methods  speech_synthesis  text
