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
	   applications 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.

	   $ wpsetters=feh fbsetbg wallpaper.jpg

       Recall the last set wallpaper on display :0.0 with the stored options.

	   $ DISPLAY=:0.0 fbsetbg -l
