Hello, I have been recently developing lots of small scripts for my new Waldorf install to make it more convenient to use. Right now I'm facing a problem. How to make nitrogen display a solid color background?
Hi, sorry I'm posting these as they come, so am putting them in separate threads.There is the option to configure nitrogen to look in other folders, other than the wallpaper folder. However when I do so the images only appear temporarily. This has happened a few times. I end up copying them into the wallpaper image folder, rendering the nitrogen option redundant.
hi,I am afraid I can't help with that specific nitrogen-folder issue...but I can tell you how what works for me: I let nitrogen read files only from its default folder (~/images/wallpapers) and I just create a symlink of my new wallpaper file into that folder:ln -s /full/path/to/the/image/wall.jpg /home/yourusername/images/wallpapers/wall_symlink.jpgand than select the new wallpaper from nitr
I installed Nautilus today and ran it. once it was run, it overrode my old defaults. I have since uninstalled it and the other components that came with it, but now when I startup, my nitrogen wallpaper shows up, only to have the old default Crunchbang wallpaper to be applied over it. When I go into nitrogen to change it back, it says my nitrogen wallpaper is the one being use
Hi Nikki,Try adding those xrandr settings to your openbox autostart script above the nitrogen and compositor lines.You can find it through the settings menu: settings --> openbox --> edit autostartMake sure you add an "&" after each command so you don't mess up any of the other autostart applications.That should set up your external monitor properly when you login and you
I'm new to feh, but I figured I'd give it a try as it must be lighter than nitrogen. But unfortunately it's not scaling my usual wallpaper correctly like nitrogen does. I've tried the usual:feh --bg-scale <path to image>And other variants take from the man page(like center, fullscreen, etc) but none of them has worked.
Where did you put the wallpapers? Try running nitrogen and specifying the path directly on the command line. For example, if your wallpapers are in your /home/greg/images/wallpapers directory, do this in a terminal:nitrogen /home/greg/images/wallpapersYou should also just be able to run nitrogen and navigate to the directory where the wallpapers are.
I switched from openbox to wmfs and everything works fine for me, except thunar's automount.I just modified the the openbox-autostart script and use it as my .xinitrc, but maybe I forgot some service or policykit related stuff (you never know).Is there a second autostart file somewhere (nm-applet isn't here too, but it runs and runs....) ?Here is it:#!/bin/bash
## GNOME PolicyKit and K
When I first installed Crunchbang Nitrogen allowed me to use different wallpapers on each desktop. After marking all upgrades in Synaptic it will only allow one wallpaper for both desktops, I later ran cb-welcome but it didn't help. I tried searching the forum with no luck, is there a config file I can try editing or another solution?
