Re: New install i3 small niggle
Reply #5 –
$HOME/.config/openbox (or whatever your de is)
there should be an autostart file
If you have feh or nitrogen you can enter either one of these lines
(sleep 2 && feh --bg-scale ~/Backgrounds/bkimage.jpg) &
nitrogen --restore &
If you run nitrogen you can select the image library and the image you want displayed and how. Then this command restores the last background set by nitrogen. The (sleep #s && ...) creates a lag from login till things are drawn (like conky, panel, etc..)
At least that is what I do to openbox
I read through the i3 manual and decided on this lifetime I will not relearn what I am used to, so I passed. I would need a background of all the i3 shortcuts for a few months to relearn new habits.
