How do change my wallpaper in BlackBox?
I have been looking everwhere for the solution but i'm not having any luck. :confused:

Don't have a lot of time, so the best I can do is this (http://bb.themes.org/php/docs.phtml?docid=25)...

Hope that helps, maybe...

if you have enlightenment setup, you can use:

Esetroot -fit /path/to/wallpaper.jpg

apparently blackbox has something similar, but I don't know if it'll do images.

bsetroot

Right click on the desktop and select a different "style".

You don't need Enlightenment to use Esetroot. All you need is Eterm. And yeah, you should be able to use bsetroot.

Sorry about that, I thought Esetroot was a part of the Enlightenment package.

I've had problems with bsetroot being able to open the jpg, but
xv -root -quit path/to/jpg

works just fine.

At the end of the style file I use:

rootCommand: wmsetbg -e /directory/image.jpg

You can run this from an xterm CLI (without the rootCommand) part to test before adding it to the style file.

Good Luck,
