in the /usr/local/share/Blackbox/styles directory are the config files
for
well, your styles. the last line should be what you change.
for example,
! command to set root window image/background
rootCommand: xv -root -quit -max -smooth
/usr/local/share/Blackbox/styles/visage.jpg
after you change that line, save the file and click restart on the menu.
the new image will
then display. Jack explained where to find xv in his post so i won't
bother.
you could also use xsetroot, as Jack explained. Blackbox also includes a
replacement
for that called bsetroot you can use.

KDE &/or GNOME support can be switched on during configure. the docs
with
Blackbox will explain how. you can also view the configure file or type
./configure --help the output should list all the options avaiable. i
believe
it will be something like:
./configure --gnome_support --kde_support
i could be way wrong, i forget, but you get the idea. then just continue
with
the make and make install as normal. i just drew a blank on how to start
it.
i'm at work, sorry, i hope someone will pick up for me from here. if not
i will
check my machine tonite you repost. sorry.
i have an account i don't use much that uses Blackbox with GNOME and it
works fairly well. it is still in the early stages, so expect to tweak
a lot.
i found that Blackbox alone was terrific on a laptop or a machine with
limited resources. the config files are not cryptic at all and even i
was able to
figure it out quickly. ;)
hope this helps.
later.
