FBSETBG

NAME

fbsetbg - set the background wallpaper for fluxbox

SYNOPSIS

fbsetbg [options]... image
fbsetbg -l

DESCRIPTION

fbsetbg 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 provides clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems a lot easier.

OPTIONS

-f: Set fullscreen wallpaper.
-c: Set centered wallpaper.
-t: Set tiled wallpaper.
-a: Set maximized wallpaper, preserving aspect (if your bgsetter doesn't support this we fall back to -f).
-u: Use specified wallpapersetter, use no argument to forget.
-b: Forward the options to bsetroot.
-F,-C,-T,-A,-U,-B: same as uncapsed but without remembering.
-h: Display this help.
-l: Set previous wallpaper.
-i: Information about selected wallpaper command.
-d: Debug info (deprecated, use -i).
-p: Tips.

FILES

$HOME/.fluxbox/lastwallpaper: In this file the wallpaper you set will be stored, for the -l option.

ENVIRONMENT

wpsetters: Wallpapersetters to use.
DISPLAY: The display you want to set the wallpaper on.

EXAMPLES

wpsetters=feh fbsetbg wallpaper.jpg
DISPLAY=:0.0 fbsetbg -l
