Desktop in weird colors [SOLVED]

I'm using arch+xfce and my desktop is in all weird colors. I don't know if it's an XFCE thing or x.org.
This is how it looks: http://imgur.com/kQVAZ.png
I have xf86-video-intel installed.

Please advise.

Re: Desktop in weird colors [SOLVED]

Is anything wrong besides the wallpaper color?

No, not to my knowledge. Everything else seems fine and B&W backgrounds work OK. I run compositor without any problems, but the wallpaper color stays the same whether I run it or not.

Re: Desktop in weird colors [SOLVED]

That's funny. If you open the wallpaper in an image viewer such as Geeqie does it look correct?

What color depth is the root window using? It should be 24 bpp. I think you can check it by running "xwininfo" and then clicking on the desktop.

Other than that I think I'm out of ideas. hmm

I messed up. The saturation was on -7.9 in the desktop settings. Must've slipped on the touchpad.

Sorry.
