Hi all,
I'm newish to the Linux world but am slowley making my way. I just would
like to know how to set the background bitmap on X. Im using RH5.0 and
Afterstep. I know its something to do with .xinitrc in my home directory but
I'm not sure but is it something to do with xsetroot?
TIA
Russell Foster
Russell,
Edit your .steprc file as follows:
Change the line that reads:
Exec "I" exec xsetroot -solid DarkGrey
to something like this:
Exec "I" exec xv -root -quit /usr/lib/X11/afterstep/backgrounds/rope.weave.jpg
Add any jpg to this directory and use its filename in place of
rope.weave, and you're off. This changes in AfterStep-1.4.5.3-2 which
ships with Redhat 5.1, but IMHP it gets easier. Good luck.
Have a good day!
