Theming the background of filer windows

My GTK theme makes my filer background a different color; how do I make it white again?

Put something like the following in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
Note: to prevent this file from being overridden when changing themes use ~/.gtkrc.mine
instead

Next, restart ROX-Filer (or you X session). You can just restart ROX by killing the ROX-Filer process : under Linux, use killall ROX-Filer and restart it. Don’t use killall under Solaris.

Other widget_class backgrounds you may like to change include:

* GtkToolbar - the toolbar at the top of the window
* GtkMenu - menus

but remember that this will affect all GTK applications.
How do I set a background image for ROX filer windows?

This is similar to the previous question. Put something like the following in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
Note: to prevent this file from being overridden when changing themes use ~/.gtkrc.mine
instead

Bu sure that roxbg.png is in the path you use in the pixmap_path directive. The image will be tiled to fill the whole ROX filer window. Next, restart ROX-Filer (or you X session). You can just restart ROX by killing the ROX-Filer process : under Linux, use killall ROX-Filer and restart it.
