Been a while since I used bb/fb (though I did like 'em).
IIRC, styles go under:
/usr/X11R6/share/blackbox/styles/
These are simply config type files that list various
options for the window manager. One of the final lines
was something like this:
rootCommand: wmsetbg --scale /path/to/myphoto.jpg
which simply tells the wm to set the root window's
background to your preferred photo.
Another cool place to look for info might be bsdforums.org;
IIRC, there's a long thread there of people showing off their
eye candy; you can pick up ideas and URL's of wallpapers,
and probably a style file or two as well.
HTH,
