I havnt had any issue with the focus model, and so I havnt tried to change it... but I have messed with blackbox and backgrounds a lot.... Heres my preference.
1) xdaliclock -cycle -root 2) bsetbg puffy.gif 3) bsetroot 4) xsetroot Xdaliclock uses quite the load (if you reduce to 256 colors, its not too bad though). bsetbg <image file name> works, and is easy. I tried xsetroot, and bsetroot, but they were too much hassle! I downloaded a bunch of BSD graphics, and set them manually, I havnt gotten around to writing a program to cycle through a bunch of them.... but it wouldnt be too hard... Try out xdaliclock -cycle -root, not only does it tell you time, but its colorfull too!
