Load it into the fluxbox/background directory and just switch to it. Make sure you set it to scale. Now, if I can just figure out how to use different wallpaper on each differnt desktop......

why.....?
Every background setting application will set a solid or gradient color in place of an image...why use an image to do it? Only reason I can think of is if you want a multi-colored or non-linear gradient. Or is it because you're hesitant to use a command rather than buttons?
Add this to .fluxbox/init:
| Code Sample | | session.screen0.rootcommand: xsri --color=black |
This will give you a black background (without needing an image) no matter what style is used.
As far as setting a different background for each desktop...I don't think it can be done with fluxbox stable. The development version has a "MacroCmd" command which allows you to chain commands together, so you could set up hotkeys that first change the background and then switch to a specified desktop. I've heard this can be hard on the cpu if you switch desktops frequently. |
Well like you said....some are GUI dependent and can't use commands....so I was just providing an alternate method (however clunky) to someone who might not be comfy in console.
