NAME

       awsetbg - awesome wrapper tool to set background

SYNOPSIS

       awsetbg [-fctaFCTA wallpaper] [-uU wallpapersetter] [-m #] [-bB
       fbsetrootoptions ...] [-rR path] [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       awsetbg is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background setting
       application and then tries to set the wallpaper using that application.
       You do not have to configure awsetbg, since it just uses the first
       application it finds.

       Furthermore, it remembers the last wallpaper set, so you do not have to
       edit anything to change the wallpaper.

OPTIONS

       -f file
           Set fullscreen wallpaper.

       -c file
           Set centered wallpaper.

       -t file
           Set tiled wallpaper.

       -a file
           Set maximized wallpaper, preserving the aspect ratio. If the
           application chosen does not support this option, fullscreen is used
           as fall back.

       -u wallpapersetter
           Use the specified wallpaper setter tool.

       -r directory
           Set a random wallpaper from this directory.

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

       -l
           Set the previous wallpaper. If the random feature was the last
           used, it will set another random wallpaper from this same
           directory.

       -i
           Display useful information about the best application to set the
           wallpaper found.

       -m #
           Use montage to create a big image (image should fit screen size).
           Requires montage(1). # is the number of screens (columns in
           montage).

       -p
           Display useful tips.

       -h
           Display help message.

       set to use with the -l option.
