Background tile image

If you have a RISC OS 3.5 machine (or later), you can extract the window background sprite and use it as the ROX-Filer background, for that authentic feeling.

First you need to download this archived BASIC program and run it on the RISC OS machine. It will generate a file called tile_1/xpm in the current directory. Copy this to the machine running ROX-Filer as ~/Choices/ROX-Filer/tile_1.xpm.

Secondly put these lines in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:

pixmap_path "yourhomedirectory/Choices/ROX-Filer"

style "marble"  {
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "tile_1.xpm"
}
style "plain"  {
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = ""
}
style "tips" {
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = ""
}

class "Collection" style "marble"
class "GtkWindow" style "marble"
class "GtkMenu" style "marble"
class "GtkContainer" style "marble"

widget "*clock face*" style "marble"
widget "*load display*" style "marble"
widget "*rox-pinboard*" style "plain"

widget "*gtk-tooltips*" style "tips"

Finally restart the filer and you should have the correct background.
