Posts: 265              Hola,

Is it possible to set a background picture of a folder or a volume 
programmatically?  It doesn't look like we can do it with Apple Script.  It 
will be nice if there's a shell command for that.

Thank you for your advice.

Tom

Location: DFW area, Texas, USA              Dang! I was supposed to go to bed 
hours ago. My farrier is here in 5 hours 

presumptions:
you have a disk image mounted with a volume name "Disk Image"
on that volume is a image file called "1.png"

modify according

anyway, Applescript code:
Code:tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window to disk "Disk Image"
set win to window "Disk Image"
  set p to icon view options of win
  set background picture of p to (item "1.png" of disk "Disk Image")
  end tell
