12       fbsetroot [ -display display ] -solid color
13       fbsetroot [ -display display ] -mod x y -fg color -bg color
14       fbsetroot [ -display display ] -gradient texture -from color -to color

DESCRIPTION

17       fbsetroot is a utility that can control the appearance of the root win‐
18       dow in three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a  two  color
19       modula  pattern  to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two dif‐
20       ferent colors.
21
22       fbsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but  it  supports
23       multiple  screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as Black‐
24       box or Fluxbox does.  It doesn't handle  cursors  etc.   fbsetroot  was
25       originally  part  of the Blackbox package and was carried over with the
26       code that became Fluxbox. It was called bsetroot back in those days.
