pause screen

Hey,

my pause screen looks like there is something broken. I have attached a picture.

Which information do you need to find this problem or should it look like that? I would prefer a black background.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

What OS are you using? And If Linux, what distribution and which desktop environment?

I assume you have the blocking mode set to 'input and screen'?

Workrve should show your background with 'input and screen' blocking.

Hey, thanks for you answer.

I'm using ArchLinux with xmonad as display manager and yes, it's set to block input and screen.

So the hint with the background image may be good. I think I haven't set one. As far as I can remember it is something set with feh but I can't look at it in the next week.

Nevertheless, shouldn't there be a fallback if there is no background set or is this (my) setup to special to support it?

I wish you a nice Christmas

I looked at how I exactly set my background:

feh --bg-scale ~/.xmonad/world.jpg

Any hints what I can use or do to fix it on my maschine directly?
