Splash screen / background color while KDE is starting up
Hi,
I'd like to know know how to change the background/desktop-color behind the splash screen when KDE starts up.
Does this color depend on KDE or X? Anyone knows?
It would be great.
I hope everybody understood what i'm talking about.

I think it shows the background that is selected in the KDM settings.
Control Center->Systemmanagment->Loginmanager

Hmmm....
Sorry. I think this would do it if i would use the graphical login.
But I prefer the text login.
What I'd like to change is the first fullscreen displayed colored area. (When you hit startx from the real black&white console)
Maybe it's a default value of the X-system....
But thanks for your help.

In this case try using xsetroot in your X startup file.

Hi, thanks 4 all your help,
I finally found it.
The startkde-script customized by redhat contains a xsetroot-line.
Even when i changed it in the startx-script, startkde overided the X-Settings.
code-snap:
test "$XDM_MANAGED" || bkg="-solid grey"
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr $bkg
test -f /etc/X11/Xresources && xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources
Thx
see ya
