Nice thing... does anyone know how to get just a solid colour as background? I can choose "clear" from the background menu, but that makes a really ugly pinkbrowngrey desktop, i would like to have two different-coloured desktops in solid or gradient colours. I edited "_root_jwmrc" and put in the line
<Desktops count="3" Background="solid"/>
and ran "fixmenus"
but it didnt help so either my syntax was wrong or this is overridden from somewhere else. Who knows more?
thank you

One way to make a solid background is as follows. I'm something of a newbie as far as Puppy is concerned, so this may not be the best way, but it works for me in Puppy 4.2
Use Gimp or mpPaint to create a small image (say 50 x 50 pixels) and simply fill the image with a solid colour of your choice.
Save the image in /usr/share/backgrounds/
Go to Menu->Desktop->Wallpaper
Select the image (colour) you want to use, and set the mode to Stretched.
Click on Apply and you're done.

Mikeb, I make a simple script that can set a picture as wallpaper. We also can add this to right click. Here:
1. make a new script, name setaswallpaper in /usr/bin
2. right click any picture (.jpg, .png) in rox filer
3. customize
4. open another rox /usr/bin in rox
5. drag setaswallpaper to send to in rox
I'm sorry..
1. make a new script, name setaswallpaper in /usr/bin
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
aku=$(basename $1)
cp $1 /usr/share/backgrounds
set_bg /usr/share/backgrounds/$aku
3. customize
4. open another rox /usr/bin in rox
5. drag setaswallpaper to send to in rox
I'm sorry..
I added the recobayu script to my rightclick menu utilty.
