I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the background in fluxbox. I have used fbsetbg and the image is just in the middle, I want to know how to make it span the whole screen. Thank you.

It's "fbsetbg -f <filename>"

if you have more questions about fbsetbg try "man fbsetbg"

Put this command in your ~/.fluxbox/init file to get it to automatically show bacground at startup after your 1st use.

session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -l (The -l means use the previously used wallpaper)(thats an L not an i)

Esetroot (you'll need to install eterm for this) is what I use.

Just add the following to .xinitrc

Code:

Esetroot -scale /path/to/wallpaper.jpg &

You can also add the following to your fluxbox menu to give you the opportunity to choose wallpapers from the menu.

Code:

[submenu](wallpaper){}
         [wallpapers](/your/wallpaper/directory){Esetroot -scale}
[end]

I am really wanting to use the slit. Does anyone have any experience with this? I could not find much about it in my fluxbox documentation.

spaceballs the slit is designed for windowmaker's dockapps or programs that support this. You can download a lot from:

Dockapps are a small (useful|funny) applications which will 'dock' onto the Fluxbox Slit.
