.SH NAME
fbsetroot \- a simple background utility used by the Fluxbox window manager, originally 
written for and by the original Blackbox window manager team.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR fbsetroot " \-help"
.br
.B fbsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-solid " color
.br
.B fbsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-mod " "x y" " \-fg " color " \-bg " color
.br
.B fbsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-gradient " texture " \-from " color " \-to " color
.SH DESCRIPTION
fbsetroot 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.
.PP
fbsetroot resembles
.IR xsetroot (1)
in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and gradient
textures the same way as Blackbox or Fluxbox does.
It doesn't 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.
.SH OPTIONS
fbsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options:
.TP
.BI \-solid " color"
Sets the root window to specified color.
.TP
.BI \-mod " x y"
Creates a modula pattern. You must specify
.BR \-bg " and " \-fg
colors.
.TP
.BI \-gradient " texturestring"
Renders the specified texture string to the root window.
.RS
.PP
.I texturestring
may be one of:
.PP
.B Horizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic / Rectangle / Pyramid
.PP
Select one of these texture types, they only apply when
.B \-gradient
is specifed. You must also specify both a
.BR \-from " and a " \-to
color.
.RE
.TP
.BI \-display " display"
Tells fbsetroot to connect to the specified display.
.TP
.BI "\-bg, \-background " color
Background color.
Needed for
.B \-mod

.TP
.BI "\-fg, \-foreground " color
Foreground color.
Needed for
.B \-mod
