Change backround picture?

#1 Post by friedsonjm »

Puppybackroundesktopimage lets me 'select' it, but there is only a 'quit' button, and when I use that, the image does not change, even after restarting x. What else do I need to do to change the image?

Puppy version number?
Upgrade from previous version?
If upgrade, from what version?
Running live CD, or HD install?
If HD install, full or frugal?
Which window manager in use?

Window Manager in use? Um.. default? ICEWM

Also... upgraded just now to June version of Ezpup; my openoffice menu items have disappeared, even though pupget still shows them as installed...

to change the background, you have to select the picture you want, then click the button called 'stretch' (if you want it to fill the whole screen) and it will change!

Not intuitive, but yes, that worked! Thanks.
Now... about those missing OO menus? :)
