Hi all,

When building an image and using the xfce package, I would like to be able
to set a custom default background (i.e., before the image is ever booted
up).

I have been unable to find any documentation on how to do this, and I
haven't found any clues by poking around in the layer.

Any pointers from somebody with experience in this area, or any links to
documentation on how this could be done would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Cal Sullivan

Hi Cal,

This setting is found in
<userhome>/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml
entry 'image-path'.

If you want you can look into my meta-misc [1]:

* a default config installing into /etc/skel
* operator-user getting the settings from /etc/skel on creation

note that this solution does not work for upgrades. For this you need
some magic in pkg_postinst copying changes from /etc/skel to user's
home.

Hope it helps...

Andreas
