I might make a youtube video on how to do it as I am surprised at how many people don't use it.
It would really help a lot of people

no you cant replace .png with jpeg
but you can use simple programs like paint in windows to chnage the format
assuming you wrote the command exactly like that
cp/home/user/MyDocs/myfolder/lockslider.png/usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds
which is wrong as
there is a space between the cp and /home
it should look like this
Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder/lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds
all in one command

Hi, I have a problem I put a picture of lockslider.png. In / opt / usr / share / themes / alpha / backgrounds and each time you reboot the phone again which had by default. You can tell me why?

You have Maenotify instsalled which overwrites your custom image from it's own cache.
