|
|
I want to put a solid background in xorg to use it in a lightweight computer that a friend was about to trash (ya, I know that X is not the best for this box, blah, blah, only doing some research). Was wondering if there is any way (preferably using xorg tools than emerging new stuff for such a silly task) to set a custom solid background color. I can use xsetroot -solid <color>, but the color must be one of the colors listed in rgb.txt, which is not the case. I want #274D74 (moreless). Is there any standard xorg tool that can do that? I dont mind if I have to specify the color in that format or in rgb. Any way would be ok.
Or perhaps add that color to the xorg predefined colors list with a name like "VeryDarkBlue" or something, that would be ok also.
TIA

Yah! Thanks.
The point was the quotes, but I was not able to find that detail in any place. Thanks again, it works. |
