openbox background problems

for a while I simply used "fbsetbg /path/to/pic/pic.png" to set my backgrounds, the one I use is meant for 1600x1200 or whatever res monitors, but it scaled fine, but now that I reinstalled the latest nvidia drivers since I was having some problems after a kernel update, it aligns itself with the top of the screen, and since it keeps it's aspect ratio, there is a black band at the bottom, how can I get the bg to be how it was, perfectly scaled, and centered?

Re: openbox background problems

Try using:
fbsetbg -c /path/to/pic/pic.png
Or use the -a option.
Or take a look at the fbsetbg man pages.

Re: openbox background problems

since fbsetbg just uses feh to set the background i stopped using it and just use feh. you can do: feh --bg-scale /path/to/image.png

Actually, fbsetbg is a wrapper.  It will use other programs if feh is not on your system. http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/fbs … setbg.html
