Well now for the *real* answer.
I use Esetroot for my pretty "Rinoa" background. I like to use Eterm on my
desktop, because it adds to some prettyness.
Anyways..
In your style file. (You will have to do a bit of research, it's defined by
your configuration file) you'll see a line:
rootCommand:
now mine looks like:
rootCommand: Esetroot ~/.blackbox/styles/rinoa/ff8-rinoa.jpg
Yours should look like however you want, well the file name anyways.
http://pet.spenced.com/~nataku/rinoa.tar
if your interested in my theme/and or if you have no clue as what to do.
Good luck.
