.TH bsetroot 1 "June 25th, 2004" "0.60.3"
.SH NAME
bsetroot \- a simple background utility used by the Fluxbox window manager, ori
ginally written
for and by the original Blackbox window manager team.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR bsetroot " \-help"
.br
.B bsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-solid " color
.br
.B bsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-mod " "x y" " \-fg " color " \-bg " color
.br
.B bsetroot
.RI "[ \-display " display " ] \-gradient " texture " \-from " color " \-to " color
.SH 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.
.PP
Bsetroot 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.
Bsetroot was originally part of the Blackbox package and was carried over with
the code that became Fluxbox.
.SH OPTIONS
Bsetroot 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 Bsetroot to connect to the specified display.
.TP
.BI "\-bg, \-background " color
Background color.
Needed for
.B \-mod
patterns.
.TP
.BI "\-fg, \-foreground " color
Foreground color.
