wallpaper changer, works with compositors

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

hsetroot is a tool which allows you to compose wallpapers ("root pixmaps") for X. It has a lot of options like rendering gradients, solids and images and manipulate these in various ways. hsetroot also supports alpha-channels. hsetroot uses XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap instead of XSetWindowBackground for solid colors. This makes it a good xsetroot replacement when a compositor (compton, xcompmgr, ...) is in use.
