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