You can use the rootCommand: property in your blackbox style file. Use a shellcommand that sets the background, e.g. rootCommand: bsetbg ~/pictures/mybackground.jpg When Blackbox starts up, it will run the command. See the Blackbox manual pages. (bsetbg is a tool contained within the Blackbox distribution that automagically finds applications to set the root window background) > 2.

Currently not, because the main design goal of Blackbox has always been minimalism. You could look at IceWM (www.icewm.org) that has very advanced window properties, while still being incredibly small and fast.
