thanks for the advise, one of the site i visited instructed me to do the following:

1. Create the backdrop images. They can be bitmap or pixmap files.
2. Place the backdrops in one of the following directories. (You may have to create the directory.)

System-wide backdrops: /etc/dt/backdrops
Personal backdrops: HomeDirectory/.dt/backdrops

3. Choose Restart Workspace Manager from the Workspace menu.

and know what? it didn't work Smilie

any good suggestions? i already created backdrops directory as my personal backdrops. i also tried looking for the system-wide backdrops and it does not seem to exist Smilie

help.

DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)												 DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)

NAME

       DtWsmDeleteWorkspace -- delete a specific workspace

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Wsm.h>
       int DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(
       Widget widget,
       Atom workspace);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtWsmDeleteWorkspace()  function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and deletes a specific workspace. Applications can use
       this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager.

       If the DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is
       not  running. The DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function requires a widget. A gadget (or unrealized widget) is not acceptable for the widget argu-
       ment.

       DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to delete the workspace. If the workspace name is not  valid,
       no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error.

ARGUMENTS

       widget	 a realized widget

       workspace the name of the workspace (in X atom form) to delete

RETURN VALUE

       The  function  returns  Success	(0)  when  it  succeeds, and non-zero when it fails. Note that these are not the same values _DtWsmDelete-
       Workspace returns.
