NAME
       nitrogen	- X11 background previewer and setter

SYNOPSIS
       nitrogen	[ OPTIONS ] DIRECTORY?

DESCRIPTION
       In  normal  working mode, provides an interface which displays all pic-
       tures in	the given DIRECTORY.  From this	interface, it is  possible  to
       set  the	 X11  root pixmap either temporarily or	set and	store the pic-
       ture, drawing mode, and X display for restoration later.	 If no	direc-
       tory is specified, it uses the stored directories in your "library" (as
       of 1.5).	See the	Preferences dialog.

       When the	--restore option is passed, nitrogen sets all backgrounds that
       it  has a configuration for and exits immediately, for use in an	.xini-
       trc or .xsession	file.
