I just installed antiX 8.5 rc3 and I can't find where you change the backgrounds. I was easy to find in ver. 8.2 why is it hidden some where this time?

also: how to add icons to desktop?

Vinoman:
In control center>Desktop>Change Wallpaper. control center is right on the menu, at least on fluxbox.

As far the icons, I don't know since I don't use icons. There is a thread somewhere about adding icons using rox panel. Maybe someone else can help you with that.

If in icewm (default) on the toolbar there is an icon for antiX control centre -> Choose wallpaper

To add icons to desktop, you need to edit the icewm/startup file (in antiXcc).
Just remove the # from this line:

#rox --pinboard=antiX &

OK, I did that, now how do I get the firefox entry, or any program to be an icon on the desktop?

Perhaps this will help

thanks, but its a bit confusing. I tried to make a simlink and I don't see where it is.

can I change the default browser from iceape to firefox?

Vinoman,
I'm sorry that I can't help with icons since I don't use them at all. Here's a link to another thread that I hope helps.

As far as I know you should be able to install firefox. I don't know how different iceape is from firefox. I was under the impression they were about the same. Another option that works for me is Opera.

Good luck
Pedro

Firefox installed by running synaptic.

I'll check the other link and let you know. Thanks. __{{emoticon}}__

To choose the default browser, run as root then choose firefox.

Iceape can use a lot of the same add-ons as Firefox.
