The XSETROOT_CUST.EXE demonstration program, created during the building of the customizer, is a modified version of xsetroot that can be used to set a bitmap on the root window. The XSETROOT_CUST.EXE program will use DXmDynamicScreenBackground and DXmDynamicScreenForeground as the background and foreground colors of the specified bitmap. If your DXMDEFAULTS.DAT file contains entries for these two dynamic colors, then use the customizer to dynamically modify the colors of your bitmap. for example: $ XSETROOT_CUST :== "$SYS$LOGIN:XSETROOT_CUST.EXE" $ XSETROOT_CUST -BITMAP your_xbm_file.XBM
