NAME
       bsetroot - blackbox utility to change root window appearance

SYNOPSIS
       bsetroot -help
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -solid color
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -mod x y -fg color -bg color
       bsetroot [ -display display ] -gradient texture -from color -to color

DESCRIPTION
       Bsetroot	 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
       modula  pattern	to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two dif‐
       ferent colors.

       Bsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality  but  it  supports
       multiple	 screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as Black‐
       box does.  It doesn't handle cursors etc.   Bsetroot  is	 part  of  the
       Blackbox package.

OPTIONS
       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

	      tion mode.

	      ation mode.
