but i already said that i cant get dfm working with jpg's and png's
so i try to use xsri but how can i get these tools back for the wallpaper and the icons

xsri is used for changing the background. i'm not sure what you mean by
"get these tools back for the wallpaper and the icons"?
Anyway I sympathise with you if you think .xpm files are too big.

i presume you did something like;
xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 a_picture.jpg
which i have tried, and it works.

if you want it at startup, you can put it in .xinitrc, just before
the 'exec';

Code Sample

...
case $DESKTOP in
fluxbox )
fluxter -w &>/dev/null &
xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 a_picture.jpg
exec fluxbox 2>/dev/null
;;
jwm )...

(this part of .xinitrc is the only area where i could get xsri to work,
otherwise you have to do it after you're inside the window manager.
if you use jwm, you'll have to copy that line down there too).

i didnt try that, but im going to do it now ;)

what i meant by saying i wanted those tools back, i meant the tools that where used in 3.4 to change the wallpaper and the icons.

EDIT:
thx, didnt know that

it works

EDIT2:
found out that that sentence u gave me was already in .xinitrc. Its in an if-loop. This one:

Code Sample

if [ "$ICONS" == "dfm" ]; then
/usr/bin/dfm &
else
xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 /ur/image.png
fi

you'll just have to edit /ur/image.png into the path to your own image, and it works with png,jpg and xmp too

@curaga: i have an old pentium 2 laptop over here
@mikshaw: i get it with the uci and the testing one
@meo: i also tried to do it with the gimp, but my computer crashed because i only have 64mb of ram and an 400mhz pentium 2 ;)

In HD installs .dsl and .tar.gz load permanently - so that's why you have 3 "update to gtk2"s
