Just an FYI. XFCE is a desktop and does not come with, nor provide a compiler. The compiler is provided (or not) by the OS/Distribution. The desktop is a component of the operating system.
To use a poor analogy, you would not complain about the tires on a car not having an ash tray. The car would be the one with the problem, and not the tires.

floatbg
floatbg(1X) floatbg(1X)
NAME
floatbg - slowly modify the color of the X root window
SYNTAX
floatbg [-display display] [-help] [-gnome] [-xfce] [-value float] [-satmid float] [-satvar float] [-fase float] [-time float]
DESCRIPTION
Floatbg is an X11 program that modifies the color of the root window in such a manner that you won't see the color change, but after a
while you'll notice that it did change, however.
Floatbg starts with a random color and changes it deterministically by moving through an hsv-model of colors. In the hsv-model, colors are
described by three parameters: Hue stands for the tint of a color (0 degrees is red, 60 = yellow, 120 = green, 180 = aquamarine, etc), sat-
urations stands for the brightness of the color (0 = white, 1 = bright), and value stands for the intensity of the color (0 = black, 1 =
normal).
Every 10 seconds the hue (tint) is increased by one degree and the saturation (brightness) is changed by a sinus over the hue. (The fre-
quency of this change can be adjusted with the -time parameter.) The shape of this sinus can be adapted with the options -satmid, -satvar
and -fase. The value (blackness) is fixed and can be set with the option -value. The default values are: floatbg -value .87 -satmid .375
-satvar .125 -fase .25, and are such that all pastel tints are visited.
Extremely simplistic Gnome and Xfce support can be enabled with the -gnome and -xfce flags.
BUGS
Floatbg doesn't use any window, button or menu, and it can only be stopped by killing it.
