20.SH DESCRIPTION
21Bsetroot is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in
22three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two color modula pattern
23to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two different colors.
24.PP
25Bsetroot resembles
26.IR xsetroot (1)
27in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and gradient
28textures the same way as Blackbox does.
29It doesn't handle cursors etc.
30Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package.
