[comp.windows.news] Painting on the Root Window in OW 2.0

herrage@ntpal.UUCP (Robert Herrage) (10/11/90)

In NeWS 1.1, I used /PaintRoot for changing the background color of the
root window and painting images that were to remain constant throughout
a session. Now, since the root window is no longer PostScript/NeWS-based,
I don't know how to do the same thing in OW 2.0.

Can anyone give me some information on how do this?

I've seen an instance where "xloadimage" was used to load a nice color
picture onto the root window, but I'm not sure that is the way I want
to do this.

Any help would be appreciated!
