NAME

       awsetbg - awesome wrapper tool to set background

SYNOPSIS

       awsetbg [-fctaFCTA wallpaper] [-uU wallpapersetter] [-m #] [-bB fbsetrootoptions ...] [-rR path] [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       awsetbg is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background setting application and then tries to set the wallpaper using that
       application. You do not have to configure awsetbg, since it just uses the first application it finds.

       Furthermore, it remembers the last wallpaper set, so you do not have to edit anything to change the wallpaper.

OPTIONS

       -f file
	   Set fullscreen wallpaper.

       -c file
	   Set centered wallpaper.

       -t file
	   Set tiled wallpaper.

       -a file
	   Set maximized wallpaper, preserving the aspect ratio. If the application chosen does not support this option, fullscreen is used as
	   fall back.

       -u wallpapersetter
	   Use the specified wallpaper setter tool.

       -r directory
	   Set a random wallpaper from this directory.

       -F, -C, -T, -A, -U, -R
	   Same as the lowercase options, but without remembering.

       -l
	   Set the previous wallpaper. If the random feature was the last used, it will set another random wallpaper from this same directory.

       -i
	   Display useful information about the best application to set the wallpaper found.

       -m #
	   Use montage to create a big image (image should fit screen size). Requires montage(1). # is the number of screens (columns in montage).

       -p
	   Display useful tips.

       -h
	   Display help message.

       option.
