Hi all! As an awful person, I hacked rio's data.c to support backgrounds. Because the default code took a 1-by-1 pixel grey image and tiled it, I just shoved a line in there to load an image file instead using readimage(). (Hacked really is the appropriate word here.)
My question is, would the plan9 approach to this (assuming this were a plan 9 thing to do in the first place) be to add a command line argument to rio that lets the user specify a file, or would it be to present some file somewhere the user can write a background to? E.g., `cat /usr/glenda/backgrounds/bg.bit > /rio/bg`. If there are any papers or man pages that'd be good to read for this question, I'd appreciate a finger in that direction. Thanks! mars
