Title: tc2.3 - Replace desktop logo with blank space
Post by: bigpcman on September 20, 2009, 09:23:20 AM
I'm not sure if this was explained anywhere or if this is the best approach but to replace the tc logo on the desktop with blank space I simply edited .setbackground in "/home/tc" to use the "/usr/share/xmp/empty.xmp" image.

That removed my selected background color too. There must be a better way.

esetroot -b <color>

EDIT:  sorry I didn't notice Esetroot apparently requires an image.. I've been using xsri exclusively for years and just went by a guess.

If you want a solid color, you could make a 1x1 1-color pixmap and set that.

Or you could install an application that doesn't require an image.  Xsetroot is included in Xorg, so you might already have it installed.

Obviously empty.xpm is a solution.

A similar solution would be to 'empty' the original /home/tc/.logo.xpm file.

Both isn't trivial, as just creating a 0-Byte-File doesn't work.

Seemingly you have to create a real 'xpm' file faking kind of zero content.

I used gimp to create an 1x1 pixel image with the same #4f5f82 color
used by /home/tc/.setbackground and stored the result in xpm format as empty.xpm.

If you are a registered member logged into this forum,
you'll find this file attached for download at the end of this posting.

Download empty.xpm
copy it into the /home/tc directory
rename it to .logo.xmp
and you'll get a plain desktop.

Enjoy

Was something that you didn't like about using the empty.xpm already provided?
/usr/share/xpm/empty.xpm

Oh, it's already there, great, thanks for the hint, roberts.

Would I have known I needn't create my own one.

Actuall I read only the last post

and oversaw what's mentioned in the first one.

Naturally, using
/usr/share/xpm/empty.xpm
is fine.
