From what I see, there's no option: magic recipe: "DIY" - make your own edjes using .edc source files. e17setroot is only a half-done util. i suggest getting chummy with edje and its format. > > Usage: e17setroot <imagename> | <edj> > -t | --tile <imagename> Tile the suppied image. > -c | --center <imagename> Center the supplied image. > -s | --scale <imagename> Scale the supplied image to the screen. > -n | --noload <imagename> Create .edj without setting it. > -g | --get Get current E17 background. > -h Show this help screen. > > > Now, if you are able to display a jpeg file, how about this: > > Can you make the display process transparent so the user never knows an edje > file is created and does not have to police it?

Even if they are only as big as the original jpegs > themselves, I still don't want edj files accumulating in my $HOME/.e/e > partition. the reason we DONT sdupport images is that an image has no imformation on HOW TO DISPLAY IT. it doesnt say "tile me" "center me" "scale me to fit" "scale me with aspect retained" and all the other niggley details. trust me. if you get picky this list blows out. edje can encode ALL of this information inot a file - along with the pixels needed so it's self-contained and always goign to be displayed correctly - regardless what resolution you change to, aspect ratio your screen has etc. THAT's why we are trying to force it on you. it's simply a better solution. edje is also the theme format for e17 so it's consistent :) > > Thanks in advance > > PJ > > >> > >> -- > >> Paul E.
