or you could leave the images in /usr/share/fluxbox intact and just change the line:
"rootCommand: qiv --root /usr/share/fluxbox/damn_c_icon.jpg"
in:
/usr/share/fluxbox/styles/Simple

there are actually a bunch of themes in there, you can choose which one you want to use by changing the line:
"session.styleFile: /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/Simple"
in:
~/.fluxbox/init

Or, you could add the line:

session.screen0.rootCommand: bsetbg -f /path/to/pic.jpg

to your ~/.fluxbox/init file (replacing /path/to/pic.jpg with the correct path and filename, of course). Choose WindowManagers->Restart to see your new background.

This is convenient if you use a flash drive or some other writable medium with the DSL CD to store your personal and configuration files on. Keep one or two of your backgrounds somewhere in home, and include them (or their directory) in the filetool.lst file so they can be backed up and ready for the next restore.

Yes, it *will* work!

The simplest approach is to right click on your desktop and select FluxBox > Styles.  You will have about 25 or so already there to choose from.  If you don't see what you like, search FreshMeat and fluxmod and other Web sites for FluxBox (and BlackBox) themes and backgrounds.  Download them and put them in your ~/.fluxbox directory and they will show up in the right-click menu.  If you are creative you can make your own!
