Default Fluxbox - Creating Theme
Hi

I'm trying to create theme for my fluxbox and I'm trying to set the background wallpaper inside my theme.

my theme.cfg file has:
Code:
background: centered
background.pixmap: /usr/local/share/fluxbox/styles/MyStyle/pixmaps/Wallpaper.xpm
when I use startx, I don't see any background image (I'm using feh).


My .xinitrc has:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox -log ~/.fluxbox/log
I was wondering if anyone knows why my background is not loading?
This might help, when exit the fluxbox using CTRL+ALT+Fn and then CTRL+C I see an error said:
Code:
Error: must specify one of: -solid, -mod, -gradient
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for your reply
Base on this link http://fluxbox.org/help/man-fluxbox-style.php section Background, the code:
Code:
Background: centered
is valid.

Right. Sorry. Does it make any difference starting fluxbox by /usr/local/bin/startfluxbox?

Thanks for your reply.

I finally figure it out. I had a "Background" set to nothing on overlay. That was the reason my background wasn't showing up. That error was because of that I guess.

Now everything works. One thing I need to mention is "Background.pixmap" requires full path to image.


Thanks for all your help.


Mark
