bsetroot is a tool for Blackbox for Windows. © 2001-2003 The Blackbox for Windows Development Team
Based on bsetroot for Blackbox on Linux by Brad Hughes. bsetroot is free software, released under the GNU General Public License (GPL version 2). See: http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html bsetroot 2.1 uses CxImage 5.11. Supported image formats: bmp png jpg gif. 1. Introductionbsetroot lets you set your desktop background to either a solid colour, a gradient, a square pattern, an image, or a combination of these. bsetroot usually is called from the 'rootCommand' line in a blackbox style. The included bsetbg.exe works just as an alias to bsetroot. Note on v2.1The format of bsetroot.rc has been changed to a more intuitive format. No more cryptic wildcards, just simple search paths. See -> Configuration. 2. Switches
3. ConfigurationConfiguration is not needed in most cases. Just put the bsetroot executable where blackbox.exe is. When bsetroot finds bsetroot.rc in the same directory, it starts reading options from it like commandline switches. This is supposed to be useful especially with the -path switch. For example these lines would make bsetroot look for images in two additional locations and also let it silently ignore any errors. -path "c:/blackbox/images" -path "c:/my pictures" -quiet 4. SearchpathsThis is how bsetroot looks for images:
You can use relative or absolute paths with both images and image searchpaths. Relative paths refer to the location where bsetroot.exe is. Please note that paths with spaces need to have quotes. That is for both paths on the command line and paths in bsetroot.rc. 5. GradientsA gradient texture is defined by the gradient type and two colours. Type can be one of "vertical", "horizontal", "diagonal", "crossdiagonal", "pipecross", "elliptic", "rectangle", or "pyramid". For compatibility with bsetroot on linux, you also can/should include the word "gradient" in the gradient type. You can combine the gradient type with "interlaced" to get some effect or add a bevel with "raised/sunken bevel1/2". Example: bsetroot -gradient verticalinterlacedgradient -from steelblue -to orange 6. ColoursColours can be in any format that blackbox accepts.
Note that bsetroot on linux wants quotes around html format colors.
