Created attachment 4975 Background color setting fixed in xfdesktop Setting background color for a desktop doesn't work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) for the desktop wallpaper, choose an image with a different aspect ration than your desktop size, so that it doesn't cover the entire desktop in the "scale" mode. There should be strips of background color visible either on its sides or below and above it. 2) Change the background color. 3) Nothing happens, even though the color of the strips around the image should change. Interestingly if I select the gradient mode for the background color, I can change the second color and the gradient appears on the desktop, but no matter what I do, the first (top or left) color is always the default dark marine blue and only the second color can be changed. I think this needs fixing, so I fixed it - the patch is attached. -Tomas P.S. I have mentioned this under this bug https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369 but it seems to have gone unnoticed.
Thanks for sending in the patch. It's actually fixed in the eric/wallpaper-and-settings-improvements branch which will be merged into master once everything is in good working order. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This has been fixed by merging in the eric/wallpaper-and-settings-improvements branch. Thanks for the patch though.
