In Blackbox, you have to edit the Menu file. This is located in
~/.blackbox. It is very simple to edit, just looking at the file you will
see what you need to do. If not, "man blackbox" will give more
explanation.

bsetroot or bsetbg. One or both of these should be on your system.
bsetroot has a man page. The Blackbox man page has a good description of
how to create themes, which also talks about backgrounds (like if you want
a solid color, gradient, or pattern instead of an image).

I hope what I'm telling you is the same for 7.2 as for 8.1!
