How to change desktop background/wallpaper

#1 Post by dougtheslug »

how do I change the wallpaper in fvwm95? I looked in fvwm95rc and changed a few lines that I thought dealt with the wallpaper image but no luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi there!

You go to the start menu, accessories/control panel, change desktop background.

Then, you can find whatever wallpaper that you wnat as long as you have it on your computer, and that should do it!

Hope that helps! :)

xli is the program that loads the desktop image

e.g.

xli -onroot -quiet -fillscreen /usr/share/images/in_flight.jpg
