- This is all on an 8.07 CRX24-Z - I believe it will work on a TVRX-T4 as well:
-
- xrdb -query >text
- edit text to:
- Vuewm*HighResHighColor*Four*backdrop*image: none
- ^^^
- 'room' number or name
- xrdb -merge text
- restart vuewm by clicking right mouse button with cursor on backdrop
- and selecting 'restart vuewm'
- xsetroot -bitmap bitmap.file Or what ever you want - one of our students
- hacked xsetroot to set transparent - is there another way to do that?
- It doesn't work in all circumstances.
