fluxbox background ?
Does anyone know what file to edit and everything else I need to do in order to change/use the background I want in fluxbox? And I still want to use the carbondioxd. style.
???
Thanks.
The same question for fvwm2 .

You can do it with Esetroot blabla.jpg (comes from Eterm) or fbsetroot or something like that

Re: fluxbox background ?
If you want the same background for everytime you log in without having to re-type the above command, add this to your ~/.fluxbox/init file
session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -f /path/to/wallpaper.png
This will override any backgrounds set by the style you use.

For fvwm2, add:
AddToFunc StartFunction I Exec exec fbsetbg /path/to/wallpaper.png
to ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
Of course, you can use another app instead of fbsetbg.

fbsetbg -l will re-set the last wallpaper with the same option. Doing it that way is probably better because then if you decide to change your wallpaper you don't need to change your theme file every time

If you have imageMagick installed, you can use the display command:
display -window root wallpaper.jpgOffline

Re: fluxbox background ?
It's another way to do that but I think transparency in a terminal doesn't with this method...
