If you've got 'bsetbg' (which should've installed with blackbox)
$ bsetbg -f image.jpg
will nicely accomplish a "scaled" image to fit the whole screen.

If you have not seen ROX yet, you must check it out.
IMO, it's the perfect companion for BB... it's fast and lightweight.

If you use ROX-Filer, a neat trick you can use is to create a little script
in your ~/Choices/SendTo/ directory that will call 'bsetbg' to set the bg.
Then, if you come across an image on your harddrive you want to set

Well now for the *real* answer.
I use Esetroot for my pretty "Rinoa" background. I like to use Eterm on my

This worked, thanks. Though it takes over five seconds to do the job. My

Put something like this

OR
xli -onroot -f
I am sure that this is located somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it.
I want to put an image as a background on my system.
What file and line do I edit to accomplish this?

This isn't really a feature suggestion per se, but more of an inquiry. The
current blackbox theme spec allows for arbitrary commands to be run from
inside a theme file. In addition to the security concerns voiced earlier on

I have a host which I can connect to via xdmcp with Exceed PC X server,
but if using blackbox, there is no background image... just the blank grey
X background. If I first ssh to the host, then start blackbox onto the
same PC X server in passive mode, then I get a background image.

In the styles or (Styles) directory you have the central theme
configuration
file which is just a text file with the themes name.
