Setting up a custom background in IRIX

RE: Setting up a custom background in IRIX
It' more than likely a limitation imposed by the graphics hardware you're running.

You have limited amounts of texture memory and suppose the system has to offload the desktop background to system memory, which is obviously slower.

One of my desktop backgrounds in an .xpm format at a resolution of 1920x1080 is 4.1MB in size!

If you're running your screen resolution at 1920x1200, the file will be substantially larger!
