One of the first things most astronauts do is personalize their starship by setting a wallpaper. To make this easy, Tuxwiz includes a small tool called Azote, which you can find in the Accessories menu.
Azote might feel a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very handy. The application works by browsing directories for images that can be set as wallpapers. Tuxwiz comes with a large collection of wallpapers, located in /usr/share/backgrounds. If you're looking for even more options, Deviantart is a great place to explore.
Note: There is currently a minor bug that prevents the Fill mode from being applied directly. To work around it, use the pull-down menu below the display to select any other option first, then switch back to Fill.
Under the hood, Azote simply generates and applies a configuration file for feh (a lightweight image viewer). This file is saved in your home directory as ~/.fehbg and looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh
This script is automatically executed at startup because it is included in your ~/.icewm/startup file:
#!/bin/sh
This ensures your chosen wallpaper is restored every time you log in.
