 |
|
When X-Server starts-up there comes a Gray-Screen on the top, Is there any way to change that Gray to any other cutomised screen. There is one option "-br" to blank out the gray screen, but this option gives a black screen, which is not desirable.
At the start-Up of X-Server, no window manager is running. xsetroot will work only after the X-Server will be up means in that case Grey screen already showed up. But instead of putting any other background, I want to put customized image.

How are you starting your X server? And which window manager are you using?
I use KDE and looking at their "startkde" script, I see they are using the following:
| Code: | | xsetroot -solid #000000 |
fairly early in the script. This seems to make the screen black fairly quickly during the startup.
I don't see the grey stipple at all. |
