Title: Wallpaper On Sl-6000 Is Oriented Wrong
Post by: miskinis on August 26, 2005, 06:15:27 pm
I use the portrait (480x640) orientation almost exclusively, and
was wondering if anyone has come up with a workaround to
allow the wallpaper to be oriented correctly.

I found a workaround myself, but it is tedious:

Install fvwm

Use the "Look and Feel" screen to set the desired wallpaper.

(From a terminal)
   "killall openbox"
   "fvwm" (which will orient the wallpaper correctly)
    Control-C out of fvwm (when it is done initializing)  
     "openbox &" (which will restart openbox in the background)

Perhaps if I knew how to locate the "commands" or "scripts" that
are executed when buttons were pressed, I could determine what
openbox is using to install the wallpaper, and correct the command.

Anyway, I hope a better workaround exists, if not, enjoy mine!

Thanks.
Have you noticed that if your z is on for a while that the thin black line at the top of the default desktop leaves a smudge? (it shows if you rotate).  A little while (hours sometimes) with a white screen on takes care of it-

Nope, I think I've heard a black line anomoly mentioned before though.
I never rotate unless someone asks me to see it rotate.

FYI - Seems you need to have "tile" mode selected, in order for
480x640 wallpaper images to appear correctly (with the
workaround I posted above.

yea..i just created my own wallpaper, rotated it 90 degress to the left then pdaxrom rotates it rightup.. pdaXrom would be even cooler though if it didnt rotate my wallpaper when i switch to landscape mode. <nudge nudge>
