Desktop BackGround
The desktop background can be set trough your look file (See MyBackground in Look section for details).
If you want to manipulate your background picture before being displayed
just use AfterImage xml, which offers the following operations : tiling, scaling, tinting, rotating, bluring, pading, croping, displaying text
among others.
If you do not want to do the startmenu->look->yourlook procedure just to see how your xml file will look like as a background you can alternatively do
ascompose -r -f yourxmlfile
