Nexus 7: Long press on screen to change wallpaper

Want to change the wallpaper of the Nexus 7 tablet? Yes you can.

The routine way is to go through Settings -> Display -> Wallpaper, then choose the wallpaper from Gallery, Live Wallpapers, Wallpapers.

There is other way to do it.

Instead of going through Settings,
you may try to long press on the left or the right edge of the display (when there are apps icons using the screen space), or press at any area of the screen (when there is not any app icons on the screen), or press the area not occupied by the app icons, then a popup view would be display with tile "Choose wallpaper from", listing three options, i.e., "Gallery", "Live Wallpapers", "Wallpapers", each of them are tied to their icons respectively.
