It doesn't handle cursors etc. Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package. .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. For possible texture strings, please refer to .IR blackbox (1). You must also specify both a .BR \-from " and a " \-to color. .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. Needed for .B \-mod patterns. .TP .BI \-from " color" Start color for rendering textures. Needed for .B \-gradient operation mode. .TP .BI \-to " color" Ending color for rendering textures. Needed for .B \-gradient operation mode. .TP .B \-help Prints version info and short help text. .SH AUTHOR Bsetroot is written and maintained by Brad Hughes .nh \" hyphenation off (blackbox@alug.org) .hy \" on again and Jeff Raven .nh (jraven@psu.edu). .hy .SH SEE ALSO .IR blackbox (1) |
