I wish they *could* be dynamic, but the challenge is finding a way to dynamically generate menus from directories without losing, e.g., image geometry information. I've considered a number of options: 1. Including geometry info in the filenames. 2. Using a heuristic based on image size to guess tile/scale values. 3. A script function with printf-style replaceables. 4. ...others I can't recall right now. If anyone has any ideas on how to better generate random pixmaps, pixmaps.list file(s), and/or dynamic image menus, please speak up. I'm open to suggestions, 'cause it's just as huge a pain in the ass for me as it is for everyone else. Moreso, even. :) Thanks, Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
