Hi,

Im looking for a way to set the user's desktop background image using some api method. Does this exist? Or is there any workaround? Am I able to set the dekstop background in any way whatsoever?

Thanks,

Theodore Mavrakis

There is not an API for this. There might be a file that is a link to an image somewhere, so you might want to poke around the file system.

What exactly do you mean by 'poke around the file system'? Which filesystem and how do i access it.

Thanks!

the file system of you device.

there isn't a big door with a sign "file system" on it..

it could be possible that you have to rewrite some of the qnx system files

You can access it from the File class.

See for example this old thread for how to SSH into the device and/or simulator.  You'll need to be or get familiar with PuTTY utilities.

K, so I was able to ssh in to the simulator and explore the filesystem. I finally found the file located at

/base/usr/share/wallpaper.jpg

however, it seems to be restricted to root. So cant seem to alter it in any way. Any ideas on this?

Thanks!
