[Solved] Openbox ignoring xsetroot
I want to set the background color for Openbox. Tried using in .xinitrc:
xsetroot -solid blue
exec openbox-sessionI can tell it is working because the screen will flash blue and then go to the default dark gray color of openbox-session. Once Openbox is ready I can then open a terminal and manually set the background color with xsetroot. Why is Openbox overwriting my .xinitrc xsetroot?

Try placing your xsetroot command in ~/.config/openbox/startup

Nice avatar, by the way, kjs.
For some reason, it reminds me of The Gold Bug by Edgar Allan Poe.
