NAME
     fbsetbg - Set a background wallpaper or pattern

SYNOPSIS
     fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] [-fFcCtTaA] wallpaper

     fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] -rR path

     fbsetbg -bB fbsetrootoptions...

     fbsetbg [-l|h|i|p]

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.

FILES
     ~/.fluxbox/lastwallpaper
	 In this file the wallpaper you set will be stored, for the -l option.

ENVIRONMENT
     wpsetters
	 Wallpapersetters to use. This can be a space-delimited list of the  ap-
	 plications to try, or just a single name.

     DISPLAY
	 The display you want to set the wallpaper on.

EXAMPLES
     To  use  feh(1)  as wallpapersetter and set wallpapper.jpg from the current
     directory as wallpaper.
