I'm brand new to this whole thing but I've got almost everything set up in BB.  I'm having some trouble with wallpapers though.  I often switch from one screen to two (laptop), and when I have two screens, the wallpaper just gets stretched randomly.  It even seems to stretch dual monitor walls.  Is there a way to duplicate walls on both screens?

Open the style file with a text editor like Notepad and look for the line

rootCommand: 

Next to that, you may see something like this: bsetbg (or bsetroot) -f "/backgrounds/steampunk-wallpaper-1920x1080.png" 

Replace -f (or whatever) with -vdesk.

Save and reload.

! -- background --

rootCommand: bsetbg -vdesk

 

Like this? or am I supposed to specify file location.

rootCommand:  bsetbg -vdesk"/backgrounds/1436548801060.jpg"

 

I've tried this but it seems the background doesn't change.  It only changes if I drop the picture onto the desktop, but then it's stretched.

Leave a space between -vdesk and "

Cool, thanks!

Oh, I lied, it didn't work.  It just does the same thing, and every time I try to change some settings it just crashes.  And for some reason the menu separators are red, and there is no way change colors...

Use the -f parameter instead of -vdesk on ONE monitor and let me know if it works well. What style are you using? Can you post it here. And what colors can't you change?

Right click Desktop,

Select [font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]BlackBox menu --> Configuration --> Graphics --> Smart Wallpaper --> UNtick[/font]

 

Or:

 

in [font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]Blacbox.rc : session.background.smartWallpaper: true --> session.background.smartWallpaper: false[/font]

 

Finally : [font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]right-click Desktop --> Blackbox --> Reconfigure[/font]

 

[font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]Any other trick such as modifying bsetroot parameters (vdesk, ...), etc. didn't work on both my bbLean latest and bbZero latest.[/font]

[font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]I'm running Win 7 x64 Pro.[/font]

 

[font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]Now I have a small issue : it displays my background (bsetroot.bmp) in a viewer when I start my computer, but at least, my wallpaper is both on my laptop and on my second screen connected to it and NOT stretched as it was previously. But that's another story.[/font]

 

[font="'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;"]Hope this helps.[/font]
