Title: Remove wallpaper and set desktop and wbar background to black
Post by: Ulysses_ on April 14, 2011, 05:49:14 PM
Been searching for info on this to no avail.  How is the desktop wallpaper removed and the desktop and wbar background set to black?

Cpanel has a wallpaper application.

Thanks but that only allows to set up your own wallpaper and desktop color, how do you completely remove the wallpaper, and how do you make the wbar match the desktop color?

If you refuse to set the color using the wallpaper utility, how can you match it?
Wbar is transparent.
If you do not want to set the wallpaper or background color, comment it out in .xsession.

Use wallpaper tool, select color and chose black.

You can also remove the wallpaper and set the desktop background to black with the "bkg=/dev/null" bootcode.

Add "-balfa 0" to the /home/tc/.wbar to remove the wbar background.

That's the first thing tried, it does not remove the TC logo, and it does not make the wbar black either.  In the end wbar seems to only get transparent if you put "-balfa 0" at the end of the one line in ~/.wbar.  Got the logo to disappear too in the end, fingers crossed, by commenting out the hsetroot line in ~/.setbackground.

Perhaps such hacking could be unnecessary if the wallpaper app supported disabling the wallpaper and if the wbar defaulted to transparent.

Saw this after posting, sorry.   How do I make this bootcode automatic?

Add it to your bootloader, be it syslinux, grub, or something else.

Perhaps a "nobkg" bootcode?

I added an option to suppress TC Logo when choosing color or gradients in Wallpaper.
Look for it starting with version 3.6rc3.

The simplest solution is to set a black jpg 64x48 pixels (1k) as your wallpaper.
(Remember to add opt/backgrounds to your opt/.filetool.lst) A suitable file is attached.

If you also wish to hide wbar add the bootcode ^noicons^ to your append line.
