1A: Make sure your wallpapers are in Wallpapers diractory in home/username. Nitrogen should make them stick.

1B: Probably, but I think you can use nitrogen as well.

1C: Don't know

2. Edit .xinitrc file (antiX control centre->Desktop->Edit login options

Change this line to your chosen wm

Code: Select all

*)
    exec startfluxbox
    ;;
eg

Code: Select all

*)
    exec openbox-session
    ;;

You can set the wallpaper in openbox by changing the load up script. I dont' have antix with me now, so I can't tell you the exact file, but it's in the openbox home page, how to set up wallpaper, etc.

You can set the wallpaper using antix cc, but it does not seem to stay after logout, at least not in my box.
