Unfortunately this will load an image, upload it to X and return a Render Picture ID, but it does not apply it as the desktop wallpaper. It's a utility service used by hildon-desktop. There is no API for setting the background from an external process, feel free to fill a feature request in bugzilla. Regarding general look and feel of the desktop, everything is in ~/.osso/hildon-desktop/*.conf (number of panels, panel configuration ...). But the theming is quite relying on the default configuration. -- Johan Bilien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
