Your theme file (in /usr/share/pekwm/themes for instance) would contain a line like e.g.
rootCommand Esetroot -stretch /path/to/image.jpg
or similar; you should edit that and restart pekwm

Many pekwm-themes use feh to change the background. You can use this command to set a background with feh:
| Code: |
feh --bg-scale /path/to/file.png
|
It will create a file ~/.fehbg which you have to make executable. If you have done that you can add this to your theme-file (if it isn't there yet):
| Code: |
Root {
Command = "\$HOME/.fehbg"
}
|
If you select the theme or start pekwm the background will change to the background you have selected with feh.
It is also possible to make dynamic menus in pekwm. See the manual. I created this little script for a dynamic background menu:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
echo "Dynamic {"
for image_path in ~/.pekwm/backgrounds/*.png ; do
echo " Entry = \"$(basename $image_path)\""
echo " { Actions = \"Exec feh --bg-scale $image_path &\" }"
done
echo "}"
|
It assumes your background-images are in ~/.pekwm/backgrounds/ . Store this script as ~/.pekwm/scripts/backgroundchooser.sh, make it executable and add the following to ~/.pekwm/menu:
| Code: |
Submenu = "Backgrounds" {
Entry { Actions = "Dynamic \$HOME/.pekwm/scripts/backgroundchooser.sh" }
}
