i have an image in my d: drive that i want to use as my wallpaper but the option to select it in the background window is greyed out and trying to go into the files and change it to wallpaper from there doesn't do anything. i'm worried this issue might extend to other parts of my system?

what do you mean by d: drive? can you show "Disks" app or fdisk -l from terminal?
haughty tundra
is it an NTFS drive?
also I imagine you have auto-mount disabled. the system may check for that and only allows to use files that are on your root partition. try to put the image in your /home directory.

/home/$user/Pictures/Wallpapers is a good choice

it's ext4

it's ext4
well, if what stunner says works then all good and mark as solved. you can setup auto-mount of the drive if you wish. and please don't say D: drive, just external drive, people will get confused

still completely new to this

u can use the Disks app to label partitions to a handy name
