thx

I would try xsetroot or xv to set a solid color bg.

If all else fails, what I would do is just resize the image to your resolution using the gimp, then bsetbg should work fine.

From the bsetbg man page:
OPTIONS
-f, -full image
image is stretched to fill the entire desktop.

i tried -full, gave me the same result.

Bummer... it's odd that the -f switch didn't work. Have you tried it with a different image file? Also, if you have Eterm installed, you could Esetroot, which is more powerful and gives you the ability to have transparent Eterms.

yeah tried with different images.
and it'll load up whatever the size of the image.
unfortunately i only have aterm
but i might give eterm a shot:cool:

I also have this problem. I beleive bsetbg will not stretch, only resize maintaining the relative widnth and height of the image.
Try this:
xv -root -max -quit /path/to/background.jpg
Try this:
xv -root -max -quit /path/to/background.jpg

Take a look here. (http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87650)
You should be able to set up your defaults for full-size images.
