Systems, Milwaukee, WI, USA Lines: 30 Hi there. First of all, to summarize my previous request regarding installing a background picture it seems that xloadimage is the overwhelming favorite. Now, for a couple of more questions: 1. I use xv_set(myFrame, FRAME_ICON, theIcon, 0) to change a base frame's icon during execution (basically, there is a long computation occurring - I set a timer to go off, change the icon with another one and then go on). The effect I want to create is something like the mailtool except loop between a few icons to keep the user up to date even if the frame is iconified. However, the call to xv_set doesn't seem to take effect once the frame has been rendered. 2. Does anyone have the sources to xlock? I would like to add some more graphics displays to it. (A good way to learn X11 bitmap manipulations...fun too) . Again, please email me and I will summarize. Thanks. -- Jeffrey A.
