In your .xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, add a call to xsetroot. You can also edit any other scripts that your system happens to call on X startup, xdm startup, user login, or window manager startup. Examples: $ xsetroot -solid puce This will set your root window color to puce, or at least it would if puce were listed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt $ xsetroot -solid '#00ffff' This makes your computer do a fair imitation of MS-Windows 95. $ xsetroot -cursor_name gumby This makes your mouse pointer infinitely more hip. If you have ImageMagick, try: $ display -window root foobar.png Be sure to check the documentation for xsetroot, display, wmsetbg, or whatever other program you have that will set your root window color or image. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ End communication. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
