Replacement for Hsetroot?
I've just taken the plunge and moved to OpenBSD after more than 3 years on NetBSD.
I used to use hsetroot because you can set a plain background color and then centre an smaller image on top of it. I'm using feh to set the background image with --bg-center but it always makes the background black. Does anyone know of a program in OpenBSD ports that supports this functionality?

I've discovered that feh has an --image-bg flag that sets the background color around an image.

hsetroot is back in OpenBSD ports!
feh is a great image viewer but the background setting options are limited by comparison.

Because I'm not a frequent buyer of monitors, I tend to use tools (GIMP, Imagemagick) to produce wallpapers that minimize the amount of processing when starting X windows. *.png do not have to be decompressed.
The ~/.fehbg is essentially a shell script that runs on X start: Code:
[jsh@XXXXXX ~]$ cat .fehbg #!/bin/sh feh --no-fehbg --bg-fill '/home/jsh/.wallpaper.png' Does hsetroot process the image on every X start? Last edited by shep; 24th August 2022 at 07:17 PM. |

Code:
hsetroot -solid '#5a76a0' -full glitch_landscape.jpg -center cat.jpg It's incredibly powerful and makes it easy to add and remove on the fly. I also have a laptop that I sometimes use with a monitor and it makes sure that wallpaper always looks the same regardless of aspect ratio.

I use JWM and put hsetroot as the command to exec to set the virtual desktop. That way it gets set on startup and if I want to change the background I just change desktop to the current one to refresh.
JWM also allows different backgrounds per virtual desktop, but I haven't found a reason to use that yet.
