NAME
       bsetroot	 - blackbox utility to change root window appear
       ance

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  window  in  three  ways: Either give it a solid
       color, or write a two color modula pattern to it, or  ren
       der a gradient texture, based on two different colors.

       Bsetroot	 resembles  xsetroot(1) in this functionality but
       it supports multiple screen displays,  and  gradient  tex
       tures  the  same	 way as Blackbox 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
