xsri

NAME

xsri - set the root window background in X

SYNOPSIS

xsri [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

Allows the display of text, patterns, and images in the root window, so users can customize the XDM-style login screen and/or the normal X background.

The image displayed by xsri is composed of three layers:

1)

A background color or gradient

2)

An optional tiled image

3)

An optional lqemblemrq image

OPTIONS

Mode Selection Options

--set

Set the background, by the standard method used for setting a users background (_XROOTPMAP_ID, ESETROOT_PMAP_I point to the pixmap ID, pixmap ID is owned by a persistant X connection which must be killed with XKillClient). This is the default mode.

--run

Maintains the background while running, but does not set it. This mode may take less memory than SET, since xsri can use multiple windows to display the image, and will work better on Pseudo-color displays. On exit, the background will be in an undefined state.

--test

The image is displayed in a window which is half the width and height of the screen.

 

Background Color and Gradient Options

--color=COLOR1

Set the background color.

--color2=COLOR2

If set, the background will be a gradient.

--hgradient

Draw a horizontal gradient from COLOR1 at the left to COLOR2 at the right. (Default if --color2 is given.)

--vgradient

Draw a vertical gradient from COLOR1 at the top to COLOR2 at the bottom. (Default if --color2 is given.)

Tiled Image Options

--tile=IMAGE

The image to tile.

--tile-alpha={0-255}

The alpha value of the tile (255 == fully opaque, default)

Emblem Options

--emblem=IMAGE

Set the emblem image to IMAGE.

--emblem-alpha={0-255}

Set the alpha value of the emblem. The default is 255 ( == fully opaque).

--emboss

Emboss the emblem on the background.

--geometry=[WIDTHxHEIGHT][+X+Y]

Set the location or size of the emblem. Either the width and height or the location may be omitted.

--center-x

Center the emblem in the X direction.

--center-y

Center the emblem in the Y direction.

--scale-width[=PERCENT]

Scale the emblem horizontally to a fraction of the width of the screen. 100% is the default.

--scale-height[=PERCENT]

Scale the emblem vertically to a fraction of the height of the screen. 100% is the default.

--avoid=WIDTHxHEIGHT[+X+Y]

Shrink the width and/or height of the emblem as necessary to avoid the given rectangle. If X and Y are not specified, the rectangle is centered. (Implies --keep-aspect.)

--keep-aspect

The width or height of the emblem will be shrunk as needed to maintain the aspect ratio.

 

PLACEMENT AND SCALING

The placement and scaling item algorithm, specified exactly:

Set w and h to width and height of the image.

If --geometry=WxH was specifed, set w to W, h to H. If --scale-width=PERCENT was specified, set w to (PERCENT/100) * screen_width. If --scale-height=PERCENT was specified, set h to (PERCENT/100) * screen_height.

Define the horizontal gravity point to be at center if --center-x was specified; otherwise, at right if --geometry=-X was specified; otherwise at left.

Define the vertical gravity point to be at center if --center-y was specified; otherwise, at bottom if --geometry=-Y was specified; otherwise at top.

If --center-x, was specified, set x to center the image on the screen; otherwise, if the position was specified via geometry, use that; otherwise set x = 0.

If --center-y, was specified, set y to center the image on the screen; otherwise, if the position was specified via geometry, use that; otherwise set y = 0.

If --keep-aspect or --avoid was specified, then if the aspect ratio is narrower than that of the image, shrink the height to make the aspect ratio match; if the aspect ratio is wider than that of the image, shrink the height to make the apsect ratio match, keeping the gravity point at the same location.

If --avoid was specified, shrink the image, keeping the aspect ratio the same and the gravity point in the same place to avoid the given rectangle. If this isn't possible, do not display the emblem.
