Hello:
This is a very minor problem but when I log in to fluxbox, the wallpaper flickers back on forth from some default to the one I selected using control center. Any way to stop this? Is it because fluxbox is not the default desktop manager so if I change that somehow will it be fixed?
thanks.
Pedro

I have been seeng the same thing ever since I updated to 7.2. Even after a fresh install (before I selected my preferred wallpaper), the wallpaper would flicker.
I have yet to find a reason or solution to this.

Hello:
In my case, as Anti explained to me, it has to do with my having setup a wallpaper using control center (which uses nitrogen) and it overrides the one set up with the theme. It's not that big of a deal for me, so I'll have to live with it, or use the wallpaper that comes with the theme.

Or, if you plan on using this theme/wallpaper for a long time, you can comment out the default wallpaper within the theme's config file. (Then you can always uncomment later on).
For example, as root launch leafpad. Go to /usr/share/icewm/themes and open the theme you wish to edit. Then open the file"default.theme". Then comment out the default wallpaper statement near end the end of the file. Something like this:

Hmm. I was wrong. Apparently, if you don't have the wallpaper set in the default.theme file, icewm will try and display a desktop background color. So if you want to change themes w/o changing wallpaper or background, do this instead:
The empty quotes are needed so icewm interprets it as none. Otherwise, if they are commented out, icewm will try and display its default background color scheme.

DesktopBackgroundImage=""
DesktopBackgroundColor=""
