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.
