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

       fbsetroot [-display display] -gradient texture -from color -to color

       fbsetroot -help

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.

OPTIONS

       fbsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options:

       -solid color
           Sets the root window to specified color.

       -mod x y
           Creates a modula pattern. You must specify -bg and -fg colors.

       -gradient texturestring
           Renders the specified texture string to the root window.

           texturestring may be one of:

               Horizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic /
               Rectangle / Pyramid

               Select one of these texture types, they only apply when -gradient is specified.
               You must also specify both a -from and a -to color.

       -display display
           Tells fbsetroot to connect to the specified display.

       -bg, -background color
           Background color. Needed for -mod patterns.

       -fg, -foreground color
           Foreground color. Needed for -mod patterns.

       -from color
           Start color for rendering textures. Needed for -gradient patterns.

       -to color
           Ending color for rendering textures. Needed for -gradient patterns.

       -help
           Prints version info and short help text.
