Solid background color won't store

#1 Post by howard »

I have been using succeding versions of Puppy Live and am now up to 1.01. Back a few versions, I changed from the default background wallpaper to a solid color, and this setting was stored [in the pup0001 file, I guess].
Recently I changed the background to another solid color and it lasted for the entire session. However, when I booted up again, the background color reverted to the previous one.
Anyone know why?
Thanks.
Howard

You did say what Window manager you are using. In my experience the background color settings did not necessarily stay between reboots unless I set them in fvwm95.

Thanks, Bruce. I am in fact using fvwm95; I'm not smart enough to use anything but the default window manager. The problem with not being able to store the last background color setting we can chalk off to a corrupt pup001 file, which was originally created using an earlier version of Puppy. I blew away the old pup001 and let Puppy 1.0.1 build a new one. I have since changed the background color six times, and the last one I choose stores no problem.
Regards,
Howard
