Icepref is the easiest tool I have found for changing icewm settings, including wallpaper. (apt-get install icepref, if it's not already installed.) Run icepref from a rxvt or xterm and you can change a ton of settings in icewm to work the way you want them to. Go to the 'Background' tab in the left column to tell it what wallpaper you want. I commonly use .jpg files for wallpaper. I'm not sure what other formats Icewm may support, though I would imagine it would support most any .gif, .jpg, .png or .bmp. Also note that you'll need to log out of X and back in before it will use your new wallpaper and settings. HTH, Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
