NAME
     xsetroot - root window parameter setting utility for X

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xsetroot  [-help]  [-version] [-def] [-display dis-
     play] [-cursor cursorfile  maskfile]  [-cursor_name  cursor-
     name]  [-xcf cursorfile cursorsize] [-bitmap filename] [-mod
     x y] [-gray] [-grey] [-fg color] [-bg color]  [-rv]  [-solid
     color] [-name string]

DESCRIPTION
     The  xsetroot program allows you to tailor the appearance of
     the background ("root") window on a workstation display run-
     ning  X.   Normally,  you experiment with xsetroot until you
     find a personalized look that you like, then put  the  xset-
     root  command that produces it into your X startup file.  If
     no options are specified, or if -def is specified, the  win-
     dow  is  reset to its default state.  The -def option can be
     specified along with other options and only  the  non-speci-
     fied characteristics will be reset to the default state.

     Only  one  of  the  background color/tiling changing options
     (-solid, -gray, -grey, -bitmap, and -mod) may  be  specified
     at a time.

OPTIONS
     The various options are as follows:

     -help
          Print a usage message and exit.

     -verson
          Print a version message and exit.

     -def Reset  unspecified  attributes  to  the default values.
          (Restores the background to the familiar gray mesh  and
          the cursor to the hollow x shape.)

     -cursor cursorfile maskfile
          This lets you change the pointer cursor to whatever you
          want when the pointer cursor is outside of any  window.
          Cursor  and  mask  files are bitmaps (little pictures),
          and can be made with the bitmap(1) program.  You proba-
          bly  want  the  mask file to be all black until you get
          used to the way masks work.

     -cursor_name cursorname
          This lets you change the pointer cursor to one  of  the
          standard cursors from the cursor font.  Refer to appen-
          dix B of the X protocol for the names (except that  the
          XC_ prefix is elided for this option).

     -xcf cursorfile cursorsize
          This  lets  you change the pointer cursor to one loaded
          from an Xcursor file as defined by libXcursor,  at  the
          specified size.

     -bitmap filename
          Use  the bitmap specified in the file to set the window
          pattern.  You can make your own  bitmap  files  (little
          pictures)  using  the  bitmap(1)  program.   The entire
          background will be made up of repeated "tiles"  of  the
          bitmap.

     -mod x y
          This  is  used if you want a plaid-like grid pattern on
          your screen.  x and y are integers ranging  from  1  to
          16.  Try the different combinations.  Zero and negative
          numbers are taken as 1.

     -gray
          Make the entire background gray.  (Easier on the eyes.)

     -grey
          Make the entire background grey.

     -fg color
          Use  ``color'' as the foreground color.  Foreground and
          background colors are meaningful  only  in  combination
          with -cursor, -bitmap, or -mod.

     -bg color
          Use ``color'' as the background color.

     -rv  This  exchanges  the  foreground and background colors.
          Normally the foreground color is black  and  the  back-
          ground color is white.

     -solid color
          This  sets  the  background  of  the root window to the
          specified color.  This option is only useful  on  color
          servers.

     -name string
          Set  the  name of the root window to ``string''.  There
          is no default value.  Usually a name is assigned  to  a
          window so that the window manager can use a text repre-
          sentation when the window is iconified.  This option is
          unused since you can't iconify the background.

     -display display
          Specifies the server to connect to; see X(5).
