X-Windows backgrounds

Here are a few X-bitmap files usable as screen backgrounds. On VMS, you can use the command:

B&W DECW:

XSETROOT -bitmap <filename>.XBM

Colour DECW

XV -root -quit <filename>.JPG

Colour CDE

copy <filename>.XPM CDE$USER_COMMON:[BACKDROPS].PM

Then use the style manager to install that image as your backdrop. You may need to create the [BACKDROPS] directory first, or move the file to CDE$SYSTEM_COMMON:[BACKDROPS]
