NAME
       fbsetbg - Set a background wallpaper or pattern

SYNOPSIS
       fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] [-fFcCtTaA] wallpaper

       fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] -rR path

       fbsetbg -bB fbsetrootoptions...

       fbsetbg [-l|h|i|p]

DESCRIPTION
       fbsetbg(1) is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background-setting app and then tries to set the wallpaper using that app. You don't
       have to configure fbsetbg. It just uses the first app it can find.

       Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don't have to edit the style or init-file to change the wallpaper.

       It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems easy.

OPTIONS
       -f file
	   Set fullscreen wallpaper.

       -c file
	   Set centered wallpaper.

       -t file
	   Set tiled wallpaper.

       -a file
	   Set maximized wallpaper, preserving aspect (if your bgsetter doesn't support this option fbsetbg falls back to -f).

       -u wallpapersetter
	   Use specified wallpapersetter, use no argument to forget.

       -b fbsetrootoptions
	   Forward the options to fbsetroot(1). These can be used to set a solid, pattern, or gradient background texture.

       -r directory
	   Set random wallpaper from a directory.

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

       -l
	   Set previous wallpaper. Or, if the random feature was last used, set another random wallpaper from the same directory.

	   Display some useful tips.
