bsetroot

bsetroot(1)						      General Commands Manual						       bsetroot(1)

NAME

       bsetroot - blackbox utility to change root window appearance

SYNOPSIS

       bsetroot -help
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -solid color
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -mod x y -fg color -bg color
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -gradient texture -from color -to color

DESCRIPTION

       Bsetroot  is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two color
       modula pattern to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two different colors.

       Bsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as Black-
       box does.  It doesn't handle cursors etc.  Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package.

OPTIONS

       Bsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options:

       -solid color
	      Sets the root window to specified color.

       -mod x y
	      Creates a modula pattern. You must specify -bg and -fg colors.

       -gradient texturestring
	      Renders  the specified texture string to the root window.  For possible texture strings, please refer to blackbox(1).  You must also
	      specify both a -from and a -to color.

       -display display
	      Tells Bsetroot to connect to the specified display.

       -bg, -background color
	      Background color.  Needed for -mod patterns.

       -fg, -foreground color
	      Foreground color.  Needed for -mod patterns.

       -from color
	      Start color for rendering textures.  Needed for -gradient operation mode.

       -to color
	      Ending color for rendering textures.  Needed for -gradient operation mode.

       -help  Prints version info and short help text.
