Laptop external screen shows rodent [SOLVED]

[Sparky]

I brought another laptop into the fold, this one was a hand me now.
The problem is that on the laptop screen there is a gorgeous MX background, but on the external screen there is a blue background with a rodent.
How can I export that default MX screen?
I already have switched to the external display from the laptop.

QSI of the new one?

What is the external display that you are using (make, model)?

[m_frank]

See: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=57109#p567284

It's not in any choice I have in desktop backgrounds.
What's crazy is that it loads the background in the external display and then replaces it.
My external display is a Samsung 24 inch T24C300

On the monitor with the mouse wallpaper, right-click and choose Desktop Settings. It probably has "Xfce" selected as the wallpaper folder. Click on that, choose "Backgrounds". You will see the available MX-19 wallpapers.

Hello Sparky and All
When in secondary Desktop Settings choosing wallpaper background
amongst all the settings like stretch, zoom, center, fit, tile
select "Tile" to see if that puts the same picture on [both] the secondary display (?)

[JayM]

That isn't what "tiled" does.

I didnt find it, but When I went to the folder 'backgrounds' instead of XFCE were it was by default and chose tiled, I found some nice MX screens so I chose one. But the new 19.2 MX default looks amazing, I wish I could get that.
BTW, Thanks JayM for the tip.
