Having two backgrounds at once? With Rox2.3.

#1 Post by flamesage »

It seems Rox2.3 adds it's own background somehow, because whenever I run Aterm, it seems to want to choose the background that is set with the old "Set background" script.

I set my new background by right-clicking and selecting Backdrops, and set it that way, how would I get the old type of background choosing to show up?

Yeah.... There are a couple ways for walpapers to be kept track of. I actually once had it to the point that I had three (3) different backgrounds that came up when booting. Rox 2.3 keeps it stored in /root/Choices20/Rox-Filer/PuppyPin. The old one is in /etc/background. That would probably be your second ghost walpaper. My third one came from /etc/background2, which was a result of the setwallpaper dotpup.

Should be possible. If nothing else, just set everything to one symlink, then just change (or have a script change) that symlink.

I considered it at a couple points, but I've been to lazy. I'll add it to my to-do list if it's nothing you want immediately. I just entered another busy streak at school so I'm not sure when I could get around to it, but I get a whole week off for Thanksgiving, so I'm going to try to catch up on my sleep and Puppy work then.

EDIT: Pizzapup comes with Rox and the /etc/background set to /usr/share/images/wallpaper (a symlink) already. All it misses is the script.
