It doesn\(cqt handle cursors etc\&. fbsetroot was originally part of the Blackbox package and was carried over with the code that became Fluxbox\&. It was called bsetroot back in those days\&. .sp If any errors are encountered, fbsetroot will use either \fBgxmessage(1)\fR or \fBxmessage(1)\fR to inform the user of errors\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .sp fbsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options: .PP \fB\-solid\fR \fIcolor\fR .RS 4 Sets the root window to specified color\&. .RE .PP \fB\-mod\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR .RS 4 Creates a modula pattern\&. You must specify \fB\-bg\fR and \fB\-fg\fR colors\&. .RE .PP \fB\-gradient\fR \fItexturestring\fR .RS 4 Renders the specified texture string to the root window\&. .PP \fItexturestring\fR may be one of: .RS 4 \fBHorizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic / Rectangle / Pyramid\fR .sp Select one of these texture types, they only apply when \fB\-gradient\fR is specified\&. You must also specify both a \fB\-from\fR and a \fB\-to\fR color\&. .RE .RE .PP \fB\-display\fR \fIdisplay\fR .RS 4 Tells fbsetroot to connect to the specified display\&. .RE .PP \fB\-bg, \-background\fR \fIcolor\fR .RS 4 Background color\&. Needed for \fB\-mod\fR patterns\&. .RE .PP \fB\-fg, \-foreground\fR \fIcolor\fR .RS 4 Foreground color\&. Needed for \fB\-mod\fR patterns\&. .RE .PP \fB\-from\fR \fIcolor\fR .RS 4 Start color for rendering textures\&. Needed for \fB\-gradient\fR patterns\&. .RE .PP \fB\-to\fR \fIcolor\fR .RS 4 Ending color for rendering textures\&. Needed for \fB\-gradient\fR patterns\&. .RE .PP \fB\-help\fR .RS 4 Prints version info and short help text\&. .RE .SH "AUTHORS" .sp This manpage was modified by Curt "Asenchi" Micol <asenchi at asenchi\&.com> for the Fluxbox window manager\&. .sp Further updates for fluxbox\-1\&.1\&.2 and conversion to asciidoc format by Jim Ramsay <i\&.am at jimramsay\&.com> .SH "SEE ALSO" .sp fluxbox(1) fbsetbg(1) xsetroot(1) xmessage(1) gxmessage(1)
