Bsetroot 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.
Bsetroot resembles
xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports
multiple screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as Blackbox does.
It doesn't handle cursors etc. Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package.
Bsetroot 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.
For possible texture strings, please refer to blackbox(1). You must
also specify both a -from and a -to color.
-
-display display
- Tells Bsetroot 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 operation mode.
-
-to color
- Ending color for rendering textures. Needed for
-gradient operation mode.
- -help
- Prints version info and short help text.
