NAME

       fbsetbg - Set a background wallpaper or pattern

SYNOPSIS

       fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] [-fFcCtTaA] wallpaper

       fbsetbg [-uU wallpapersetter] -rR path

       fbsetbg -bB fbsetrootoptions...

       fbsetbg [-l|h|i|p]

DESCRIPTION

       fbsetbg(1) 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 supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don't have to edit the style or init-file to change the wallpaper.

       It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems easy.

OPTIONS

       -f file
	   Set fullscreen wallpaper.

       -c file
	   Set centered wallpaper.

       -t file
	   Set tiled wallpaper.

       -a file
	   Set maximized wallpaper, preserving aspect (if your bgsetter doesn't support this option fbsetbg falls back to -f).

       -u wallpapersetter
	   Use specified wallpapersetter, use no argument to forget.

       -b fbsetrootoptions
	   Forward the options to fbsetroot(1). These can be used to set a solid, pattern, or gradient background texture.

       -r directory
	   Set random wallpaper from a directory.

       -F, -C, -T, -A, -U, -B, -R
	   Same as the lowercase option but without remembering.

       -l
	   Set previous wallpaper. Or, if the random feature was last used, set another random wallpaper from the same directory.

       -i
	   Display useful information about best wallpapersetter found.

       -p
	   Display some useful tips.

       -h
	   Display a help message.

FILES

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

ENVIRONMENT

       wpsetters
	   Wallpapersetters to use. This can be a space-delimited list of the applications to try, or just a single name.

       DISPLAY
	   The display you want to set the wallpaper on.

EXAMPLES

       To use feh(1) as wallpapersetter and set wallpapper.jpg from the current directory as wallpaper.

	   $ wpsetters=feh fbsetbg wallpaper.jpg

       Recall the last set wallpaper on display :0.0 with the stored options.

NAME

       fbrun - display run dialog window

SYNOPSIS

       fbrun [options]

DESCRIPTION

       fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program
       that isn't contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular invocation).

       Pressing "Enter" will close the window and execute the command in your present $SHELL. Pressing "Esc" will close the window and does not
       execute anything.

       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example
       might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for
       fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and
       execute it.

OPTIONS

       -title title
	   Set title

       -text text
	   Text input

       -w width
	   Window width in pixels

       -h height

       -display display
	   Display name, defaults to $DISPLAY

       -pos x y
	   Window position in pixels

       -nearmouse
	   Position the window under the mouse cursor

       -fg color

       -bg color

       -font name
	   Text font name

       -na
