Stan,

I struggled with this, too, and found that the latest FB apparently wants to see a new style-directory structure, to wit:

~/.fluxbox/styles/sexy-grey/pixmaps/

What once was a style file named "sexy-grey" in styles, FB now wants to see as a more generically named "theme.cfg" and placed in the new "sexy-grey" subdirectory. Then put the background into the ~/sexy-grey/pixmaps subdirectory. This will show up in the user themes section of the FB config menu. Then use this in the theme.cfg file:

background:   full
background.pixmap:   ~/.fluxbox/styles/sexy-grey/pixmaps/_killing_lies_by_mi4.jpg

That should work.

With best regards,

Pete
