Solaris

The way to do what you want is as follows:

Open the Style Manager.
Click on Backdrops.
Select NoBackdrop from the list.
Click OK. The backdrop tile will disappear.
Repeat these steps for every workspace on your desktop. (the checkbox does not work correctly)
Use xsetroot or xv to establish your X window root background.
To automate the process, put something like this into your sessionetc script in ~/.dt directories:
#!/bin/sh
#
xv -root -quit my-background-picture.gif &

hi All

I successfully changed my backround , as per the instructions . But since the resolution of the pic is low , i am getting the background in tile format. Can i stretch the same wallpaper (similar to the option that we have in WINDOWs).


Thnx

Varun

It Worked!!!
Thank you soooooooooomuch

I tried the above steps but failed.
1. I do NOT have xv on my machine
2.What is the alternative command of setting up the background using xsetroot. I have tried:
/usr/openwin/bin/xsetroot -bitmap b.bmp
but it reports bad bitmap format file.
3.Has this procedure to be done as root user?

Any help is appreciated

P.S : OS is Solaris8 and trying to connect through Kea!X

Try with a JPG file and tell us..

No Luck

The bitmap type for xsetroot is 'xbm' (Xbitmap) not windows .bmp
