X and Fluxbox :: chang desktop background pic
I got a theme but I can't move the files to /usr/share/fluxbox, it tells me "Read only file system".
I had this as well
If you putting themes in /usr/share/fluxbox youll need to be root
also i found that you need to unapck the tar files in the /...../fluxbox directory, then all the files are put in the right place
Hope this helps:D
Also, you need to be careful with the size of the image. Make sure you have one that will fit your screen. I used one that's too small, and fluxbox "blew it up" to fit my screen. What a mess! In webpages, HTML, the image you have for a background is tiled across the entire page, no so in fluxbox! Now I gotta go find one that fits!
Go to http://fluxbox.org
There is a replacement script for bsetbg which will allow you to tile your images, centre them, use them full screen and so on. The link is on the right of the page under "Useful Tools". The script is called fbsetbg. I put mine in /usr/bin/ so it would be in my path: this way you can type the command regardless of which directory you are in. A symbolic link would do just as well, of course. Just make sure it is executable: chmod +x
When you've got it working, type
at the prompt and you will get a very clear and simple help message about using it.
There are lots of other Fluxbox goodies on this site - highly recommended!
