Some hints on using XBandLogo-9307.mpnt.Z Here's the command I use to make this my background: xloadimage -onroot -xzoom 200 -yzoom 200 -background grey75 XBandLogo.mpnt & You may need to adjust the zoom factors based on your display size. You may want to adjust the background color to taste. If your xloadimage doesn't know how to recogize compressed files and pipe them through uncompress, then you'll want to uncompress the file first. If your xloadimage has trouble finding the file, try a complete pathname, or try setting up a ~/.xloadimagerc file.
