| riot -i $home/bin/rc/riostart |

^ $home/bin/rc/riostart ^
| [Replace //glenda// with your username.] |

<file config $home/bin/rc/riostart>

#!/bin/rc
window 'cat /usr/glenda/lib/theme/rio.theme > /mnt/wsys/theme;
	sleep 0.5;
	grep softscreen /dev/vgactl >> /dev/vgactl;
	echo hwblank off >> /dev/vgactl'

===== Background =====

|x|  **Notes for preparing a background image:**  | //[blank]// |
|x|  //''jpg -9''//  |http://man.9front.org/1/jpg|
| |  //**''-9''** Like -c, but produce an uncompressed image. This saves processing time, particularly when the output is being piped to another program such as page(1), since it avoids compression and decompression.//  |"|
|x|  //''jpg -t''//  |http://man.9front.org/1/jpg|
| |  //**''-t''** Convert the image, if it is in color, to a true color RGB image.//  |"|
| |  Note: //**''-c''** Convert the image to a Plan 9 representation, as defined by image(6), and write it to standard output.//  |"|

^ Example: ^
| ''jpg -9t <coolwallpaper1920x1080.jpg >/usr/$user/lib/1920x1080.img'' |

<code>

  cpu% jpg -9t <coolwallpaper1920x1080.jpg >/usr/$user/lib/1920x1080.img
</code>

^ Example 1920x1080 output ^^
| | ''file /usr/$user/lib/1920x1080.img'' |
|x| ''//plan 9 image, depth 24, size 1920x1080//'' |
