It worked fine for me
]]># icewmbg preferences

# IMPORTANT: You MUST run icewmbg (probably before icewm)

# Display desktop background centered and not tiled
DesktopBackgroundCenter=0 # 0/1
# Support for semitransparent terminals like Eterm or gnome-terminal
# SupportSemitransparency=1 # 0/1
# Desktop background scaled to full screen

# Desktop background color
DesktopBackgroundColor = "rgb:00/20/40"
# Desktop background image
DesktopBackgroundImage = "/home/bp/.icewm/IceWMBackgroundImage.img"
# Color to announce for semi-transparent windows
# DesktopTransparencyColor=""
# Image to announce for semi-transparent windows

Do you run a desktop manager, by chance? They tend to do the background stuff by themselves.
I run IDesk, but do not use their background capability in my .ideskrc:

end

end
I can't set my wallpaper in IceWM. No matter whether I use icebgset or edit ~/.icewm/preferences manually, there's still the default theme background as desktop wallpaper. How do I change that?
