I had a vague memory that with 0.50 I used ImageMagic's display command at .xsession to show a background image on my desktop. I guess this has changed since or my memories serve me wrong. Well, let's see... There is no documentation or FAQ at http://blacboxwm.sourceforge.net. Okay, found the /usr/share/doc/blackbox-0.65.0/README.bsetbg. So, I can use it just like display to change my background. But still no info about how I could have it done automatically when I log in. And the mentioned URL for bsetbg home page (http://lordzork.com/blackbox/) does not work. Let's try the man pages. It does not say anything about changing just the background image, but it talks a bit about styles. So maybe I have to edit a style and change it's background? I tried to creating a new style at ~/.blackbox/Styles, but that did now show up in my menu. So I copied it at /usr/share/blackbox/styles/ as root. Now it showed up. I made the rootCommand to run bsetbg and show my background pic. Finally I got what I wanted. Did this go as intentend? I hope not, as it is not very convient if one must have root access to change the desktop background... And I wouldn't say that a linux newbie would achieve this task with RTFM instructions quite easily. Or maybe I have missed some docs or something here...?
