Hi, I'm on Debian, I usually have my Wallpapers in a "Images" folder in
my home directory, and make a symlink of it
to /usr/share/WindowMaker/Backgrounds. Then I have my Images folder
showing in the WM Backgrounds menu, no problem. It takes Jpgs and PngS
all the same. I think you could symlink to your user home ->
GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Backgrounds too...

Ahh right! This time the symlink worked for me too.
I must have done a mistake the last time.

Thank you Gael.

Hello list!

My distribution ships a standard wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers.
Now I wonder, is it possible to:
- provide a path like /usr/share/wallpapers/default in the themes
file?
- does WindowMaker support jpg and png?
- does it follow symlinks?

My goal is to have the it display always the standard wallpaper of
the distro, which might change between releases. I tried those
apporaches, but for me they didn't work. That's why I came here to
ask you if it _should_ work (maybe I did something wrong).
