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.
