Hi jr et al
using imagemagick has solved my background problem thanks, my bash function is
now (roughly)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------->%
dologo() {
BACK="images/virgin.jpg"
LOGO="images/logo.gif"
COPYRIGHT="images/copyright.gif"
# Get the root window size
set `xwininfo -root | grep Width`
shift
width=$1
set `xwininfo -root | grep Height`
shift
height=$1
echo "screen is $width X $height"
# Get the correct zoom factor
xzoom=`expr $width \* 100`
# 1280 is the X resolution of BACK
xzoom=`expr $xzoom \/ 1280`
yzoom=`expr $height \* 100`
# 1024 is the Y resolution of BACK
yzoom=`expr $yzoom \/ 1024`
convert ${BACK} -resize ${xzoom}x${yzoom}% composite.gif
# Set the positions of the COPYRIGHT and LOGO
copyright_x=`expr $width - 350`
copyright_y=`expr $height - 40`
logo_x=`expr $width - 350`
logo_y=`expr $height - 200`
composite -geometry +${logo_x}+${logo_y} ${LOGO} composite.gif \
composite.gif
composite -geometry +${copyright_x}+${copyright_y} ${COPYRIGHT} \
composite.gif composite.gif
# Blat the background
xloadimage -fullscreen -onroot composite.gif
}
