Desktop Background Color without using PCMan

[nlvivar]

How do you define the desktop background color if you are not using PCMan to control the desktop?

Thanks.

Hi

If you are using GDM for login you can run "gdmsetup" (as root) and select a color under "local".
You also can set the desktop background with feh.

Or nitrogen.

For reference an easy way to get a solid color is, in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart add at the top, replacing the color with whatever pleases you

xsetroot -solid "#000030"
