FBSETROOT(1)			 Fluxbox Manual 		    FBSETROOT(1)

NAME
     fbsetroot	- a simple background utility used by the fluxbox(1) window man-
     ager, originally written for and by the original  blackbox(1)  window  man-
     ager.

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 win-
     dow in three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two color  mod-
     ula  pattern  to  it,  or render a gradient texture, based on two different
     colors.

     fbsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports  mul-
     tiple-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 op-
     tions:

     -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 /  El-
	     liptic / 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
