Please do not use gifs or other large file formats as your background images.
|
|
Although Window Maker does now include .gif support,
|
|
most backgrounds (unless they are small tiles) are at least 640x480.
|
|
and this makes for a <b>huge</b> gif file, generally in the 1meg+ range.<br>
|
|
The same file as a .jpg could be as much as 95% smaller or more!<br>
|
|
(also see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html">here</a> for another good
|
|
reason not to use GIFs),
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Also when using an image as the Background, if you choose to remove the file
|
|
extension, please include the file format of it in the .lsm for your theme.
|
|
<a href="example-lsm.txt">See here</a> for an example <tt>readme.lsm</tt> file.
