NAME
       nitrogen - X11 background previewer and setter

SYNOPSIS
       nitrogen [ OPTIONS ] DIRECTORY?

DESCRIPTION
       In  normal  working mode, provides an interface which displays all pic‐
       tures in the given DIRECTORY.  From this interface, it is  possible  to
       set  the	 X11  root pixmap either temporarily or set and store the pic‐
       ture, drawing mode, and X display for restoration later.	 If no	direc‐
       tory is specified, it uses the stored directories in your "library" (as
       of 1.5). See the Preferences dialog.

       When the --restore option is passed, nitrogen sets all backgrounds that
       it has a configuration for and exits immediatly, for use in an .xinitrc
       or .xsession file.

OPTIONS
       --no-recurse
	      Do not recurse into subdirectories of DIRECTORY.

       --restore
	      Restores previously saved pictures to the root displays.

       --sort=[option]
	      Sorts the background list by  the	 given	option.	  By  default,
	      items  are  sorted as they are found on the filesystem, giving a
	      quasi-newest first sorting order.	 Valid options are:

	      alpha  Alphabetical order.

	      ralpha Reverse alphabetical order.

	      time   Modified time, ascending.

	      rtime  Modified time, descending.

       --help A mystery option which saves the iguanas of Sweden.

FILES
       ~/.config/nitrogen/
	      Holds the configuration for saved backgrounds.

BUGS
       There are probably plenty of them.  Report  all	bugs  to  Dave	Foster
       <daf@minuslab.net>.
