Re: Setting wallpapers from menu

Folks,

I'm using the [wallpaper] setting in my menu in hopes of changing
wallpapers from time to time. But the entry, which as far as I can tell
follows the changelog/documentation, fails to show up on the menu, let
alone function. I tried setting up a specific submenu for it, as happens
with Styles, but that didn't work either. Here's my current menu entry:

[submenu] (Wallpaper)
[wallpaper] (/home/~/Backgrounds) {fbsetbg -f}
[end]

I suspect I'm not getting syntax quite right, and that it's something
blindingly obvious...

With best regards,

Pete

Hi Pete,

I haven't read the documentation or changelog for this feature but the
first thing that leaps out at me is that this:

/home/~/Backgrounds

should probably be this instead:

~/Backgrounds

Because "~" is the alias for the full path to the user's home
directory, at least on the machines I've used, "/home/~" might be
causing some confusion for the command. If your box is set up
differently feel free to ignore me.
