DESCRIPTION

       fbsetbg(1) is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background-setting app and then tries to set the
       wallpaper using that app. You don’t have to configure fbsetbg. It just uses the first app it can find.

       Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don’t have to edit the style or
       init-file to change the wallpaper.

       It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems easy.

OPTIONS

       -f file
           Set fullscreen wallpaper.

       -c file
           Set centered wallpaper.

       -t file
           Set tiled wallpaper.

       -a file
           Set maximized wallpaper, preserving aspect (if your bgsetter doesn’t support this option fbsetbg
           falls back to -f).

       -u wallpapersetter
           Use specified wallpapersetter, use no argument to forget.

       -b fbsetrootoptions
           Forward the options to fbsetroot(1). These can be used to set a solid, pattern, or gradient
           background texture.

       -r directory
           Set random wallpaper from a directory.

       -F, -C, -T, -A, -U, -B, -R
           Same as the lowercase option but without remembering.

       -l
           Set previous wallpaper. Or, if the random feature was last used, set another random wallpaper from
           the same directory.

       -i
           Display useful information about best wallpapersetter found.

       -p
           Display some useful tips.

       -h
           Display a help message.
