Description

bgs allows you to tailor the appearance of the background ("root") window on a workstation display running X. It uses imlib2 for image rendering and rotates the images automatically. It is designed for dynamic Xinerama/Xrandr setups such as those used with notebooks, but it works well in any setup.
