NAME
       bgs - background	setter

SYNOPSIS
       bgs [-v]	[-c] [-C hex] [-z] [-R]	[-x] [IMAGE1...IMAGEN]

DESCRIPTION
       bgs allows you to tailor	the appearance of the background ("root") win-
       dow on a	workstation display running X.

       bgs  uses  imlib2  for image rendering and rotates the images automati-
       cally. It is designed for dynamic Xinerama/Xrandr setups	such as	 those
       used with notebooks, but	it works well in any setup.

OPTIONS
       -v     prints version information to standard output, then exits.

       -c     centers image rather than	scaling	it.

       -C hex specifies	 background  color to use when the image does not fill
	      the screen.

       -z     zooms image rather than scaling it.

       -R     prevents automatic rotation for optimal screen fill.

       -x     switches to dynamic mode.	bgs will  update  your	background  as
	      soon as the root window changes.

       if multiple images are specified, each image is set for each monitor,
       in order.

SEE ALSO
       dwm(1) xsetroot(1)

BUGS
       bgs can't decide	how the	monitor	is rotated if you use xrandr-rotation,
       so it assumes the monitor is rotated clockwise.
