Put an image or color in the root window

Usage

chameleon [{hexrgb | color name}]

chameleon [{-t | -c}] filename

Overview

Chameleon has two modes of operation. From the command line using above options, it places the color specified by hexrgb or color in the root window. Or if filename is specified, the file is placed in the root using Imlib. If no options are given (or just standard GTK options) chameleon will load its GTK interface.

Options

-t: Tile the image. Otherwise image is stretched to fit the root window

-c: Centre the image. The remainder of the root window is filled black.

Examples

chameleon "#c6c6ff"

chameleon "dark blue"
