Gnome question


I am using RH 8.0 and I have 2 questions about gnome using an x-term command line.

1. Using command-line, how can you change the background color to solid black?

2. Also using command-line, how can we get rid of the bottom icons.

Obviously, my goal is to get a solid black screen. Since this is a script, I can't use the gnome GUI stuff.

Does anyone know the command-line for this?

Thanks!

No, because I need to do this command-line.

I need the specific command call that gnome.

This is because I am writing a script to turn the background black. I can't script the mouse to move around like that and click buttons.

So I need the specific command-line call.
