is there a terminal command to reset the wallpaper(SOLVED)

Post by gychang »

I am running Fossapup64, frugal install in my laptop with an external monitor. Xrandr script on boot turns off laptop monitor and configures the external monitor. Once booting completes my wallpaper is always shifted and I have to restore by right click on desktop then clicking on "Backdrop..." menu and although "fit" is highlighted I have to click on "stretch" followed by clicking back on "fit", then the wallpaper looks proper. I am wondering if a delayed terminal command can automate the process of resetting the wallpaper on FP64. I am not running jwm window manager but I use bspwm tiling manager with tint2 tray as can be seen on attached photo.

I've not used Fossapup for a while, but I believe set_bg is in Fossapup, so try:

Code: Select all

set_bg /path/to/background/whatever.jpg
