DSL Tips and Tricks :: saving background pic

hi,

ok here is the thing, i have a background pic that i like.. called tuxwin.jpg. so i know how to change the desktop theme and then save the configurations.

but when i reboot and use restore=sda2 i get the configurations back which is good but not the background that i wanted. the pic is in sda2 too.

please help ,

Did you add the background to the theme?
example: somewhere in your theme style there should be a line that looks something like this.

rootCommand: xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/endlessblue.jpg

change to

rootCommand: xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/tuxwin.jpg

Then the theme will set the background> http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/3741/modified9pg.png

ill try that ,

thanks

You can also use the wallpaper app to permanently install a specific image regardless of which style you use. Select the image and then click the "Install" button.

If you do mikshaw's way make sure you make a copy of .fluxbox/init first. I have had a few times were it deleted the init so it was just blank.
