To Reduce Color Usage by Using a Solid Color for the Desktop Background

Use a solid color for the desktop background. Use of a solid color reduces the number of colors used by the Java Desktop System.

To set a solid color for the desktop background, execute the following commands:

# gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options none

# gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/color_shading_type solid

# gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color \#hexadecimal-color

Alternatively, users can use the Desktop Background preference tool to choose a solid color for the desktop background.
