Nope. Same reasons, too. If you have to have that, I'd use WindowMaker. > - is there a way to set a background image in blackbox? Not the window manager's job.

AfterStep may be able to as well... it's been a long time since I've seriously used AS. FVWM can. Enlightenment probably can (it tries to do everything else, so why not?). > .. really, I don't want to be offensive or anything like that, I'm just > saying what You're saying that you want this feature, and you don't accept anyone's reasoning for why it isn't in the window manager by default. > Is there really no way somehting like this could be included into > a window properties thing when you right click on the titlebar? Of course it could be. However, unless you'll be writing it, it's not happening any time soon. So far, you haven't convinced anyone else but yourself that it needs to be part of the window manager. Look at how WindowMaker does things, then adapt it. Be prepared for it to make mistakes... gods know WindowMaker does. -- Marc Wilson | Call on God, but row away from the rocks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Indian proverb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
