NAME
|
|
----
|
|
fbsetroot - a simple background utility used by the fluxbox(1) window manager,
|
|
originally written for and by the original blackbox(1) window manager.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*fbsetroot* [-display 'display'] -solid 'color'
|
|
|
|
*fbsetroot* [-display 'display'] -mod 'x' 'y' -fg 'color' -bg 'color'
|
|
|

|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
*fbsetroot(1)* 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.
|
|
|
|
fbsetroot resembles *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.
|
|
|
|
If any errors are encountered, fbsetroot will use either *gxmessage(1)* or
|
|
*xmessage(1)* to inform the user of errors.
|
|
|
