This is the line i have inserted in Pussy's JWM config file to activate the roxfiler background:sickgut wrote:try this once roxfiler is installed and you have booted into xorg with startx:antiloquax wrote:Yes - it's this Rox-filer background support that I am trying to do.

re Arch. At the moment, I am still logging as root, then X starts automatically. I will look at auto-login at some point soon.
There's more to Puppy than the wallpaper - must get that rubick's cube game running
in a terminal :
rox --pinboard=pin
the background should appear.
ofcause tho you must install rox via: apt-get install rox-filer
<Program label="ROX-filer background">rox -p --pinboard=PIN</Program>
and you can start foxfiler background by using this command in a terminal:
rox -p --pinboard=PIN
you could create a script file that contains that command and save it with a easy to remember name in the main dir of your filesystem like /background.sh or something like that. So when you startx you open a terminal and type /background.sh and then the rox filer background activates. If you save the script file in /usr/bin/ then you can type the filename without any /'s in front of it. The script only has to contain that single line: rox -p --pinboard=PIN
and doesnt have to have the .sh after the name. I just do that so i can immediately identify that file as a script as .sh extention assigns a script icon for the file when viewed with rox and other filemanagers.
the command to invoke the background is very flexible and there are many options and versions of that command that will do the same thing. Note that if you start roxfiler when you are a root user, you will see a different background than when you start rox filer background as a normal user, because rox automatically seems to setup profiles for the different users, and this is a pain in the butt. So just remember to setup your desktop as the user its intended for (easy to remember if your just running as root user all the time)
