fbsetroot is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in
39
three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two color modula pattern
40
to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two different colors.
44
in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and gradient
45
textures the same way as Blackbox or Fluxbox does.
46
It doesn't handle cursors etc.
47
fbsetroot was originally part of the Blackbox package and was carried over with
48
the code that became Fluxbox. It was called bsetroot back in those days.
50
fbsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options:
53

56

60
.BI \-gradient " texturestring"
61
Renders the specified texture string to the root window.
67
.B Horizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic / Rectangle / Pyramid
69
Select one of these texture types, they only apply when
71
is specifed. You must also specify both a
72
.BR \-from " and a " \-to
76
.BI \-display " display"
77
Tells fbsetroot to connect to the specified display.
