problems with displaying wallpaper and/or icons Space-Icewm Desktop

[Member berghsg]

Hi All

My OS: Antix 19.1 Marielle Franco
My Kernel: Linux antix1 4.9.200-antix.1-amd64-smp
My File Manager: SpaceFM
My Windows Manager: IceWM
My Theme: Ultrablack-Large
My Look and feel: Niroki (dark theme)
My Icon theme: Numix square antix

After a while of running the above Antix OS I was having problems where the desktop icons would not always load. So what i did was: Start point (to bring up start menu) > Logout… > Restart session. This would reload the desktop icons.

Then I had issues with the icons loading later, but my preferred wall paper was disappearing after 2 second delay as set by the parameter STARTUP_DELAY=”2″ in /home/live/.desktop-session.conf
I was left with a black background where the desktop icons were. However behind Conkey my select background wallpaper still showed as a narrow strip on my Desktop. But I wanted it to spread across my full desktop!

I eventually found out the solutions was:
To start menu > Applications > System > SpaceFM
Open SpaceFM > View > Preferences > Desktop TAB > “Wallpaper:” (must be selected) > browse to “tron-asuPcC.png” > OK

Start point > Logout > Restart Session

Hope this helps some one who may be struggling with displaying their wallpaper and / or desktop icons
