THe ~/.blackbox/[styles|backgrounds] concept *is* suppose to be the standards
by which bb.themes.org operates. Whether or not thye have now decided
to forgo the 'standard' and simply accept any theme that works I can not say.
As for the use of bsetbg, that is a relativly new addition to the standard.
I think I can safely say that 60% of the existing themes were created before
bsetbg was conceived.
! The Other problem is that i've encountered is that almost all of the
! themes do not use bsetbg to set the background image. Most of them use xv.
! This is a problem for me as I dont have it installed, and debian users
! will not have this application either. Is the use of bsetbg mentioned in
! the themeing conventions?
