Abstract
A disclosed method detects user input to set wallpaper of a first operating system environment using an image data file, and sends the image data file from the first operating system environment to a second operating system environment along with a request to update wallpaper of the second operating system environment. The two operating system environments are independent and utilize a common kernel. The method sets the wallpaper of the second operating system environment using the image data file. The method may also establish a bi-directional client-server communication channel between the operating system environments, and send the request to update wallpaper of the second operating system environment via the bi-directional client-server communication channel. An apparatus that performs the method includes a programmable processor, and memory containing executable instructions. The processor runs multiple operating system environments utilizing a common kernel.
