Setting Multiple Wallpaper
icewmbg
is the command to set the background colour, image etc from the private
configuration folder .icewm. But here is some thing more superior tool called
chbg
which can change background following a predefined interval set by the
user.
chbg
A GTK+ based program. Execute the chbg command from a terminal and you can see the chbg window as below
![]() chbg |
![]() picture selection |
thumbnail view |
When you feel satisfied with all the settings then include chbg in your .xintrc as below
chbg -scenario chbg.list
&
icewm-session
chbg asks for a file name to store all the configuration along with the path of selected images. I have set it to chbg.list
Below is the screen after firing up icewm

running chbg as a background process for getting multiple
wallpapers
Shadow effect is also possible. See the screens below showing shadow
previews available in chbg.

Wallpaper with Shadow effect
chbg has the option to act as a xscreensaver hack or as a standalone screensaver.
