Changing wallpaper in DSL


Just installed DammSmallLinux.
I like it.

I created an account for user "myself".

For the user "myself" - How do I change the
default "Tree_and_Moon" wallpaper to
some other jpg file?

I have not done this yet, but I found some information on this from another site.

wallpaper: bsetbg or xsri. xsri is the actual background-setting application and has greater flexibility, but bsetbg makes it easier to just set a fullscreen image with "bsetbg -f /path/to/image". I believe the background will be reset when you reboot if you just do this.

There are basically three ways that I know to set the background in Fluxbox:
1) rootCommand in a style file. This sets the background each time you load a style, according to whatever is listed on the rootcommand line for a specific stylefile.
2) rootCommand line in .fluxbox/init. This is the same as in a style file, although it overrides the style file...it will set the background to the same thing regardless of what is in a style.
3) Manually setting the background after Fluxbox loads, either on the commandline or in a script.

Probably the most common way to make a persistent background is by modifying a style file. Find a style you like and copy it into .fluxbox/styles (use a new name so you can easily find it in the fluxbox menu). Then edit the rootCommand line to set your background the way you want it. Choose this copied style from the menu, and you should be all set. I'm not certain, but you may need to reload or reconfigure Fluxbox in order to see the new style in the menu.
