+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I xsetroot
+program
+allows you to tailor the appearance of the background ("root")
+window on a workstation display running X. Normally, you experiment with
+.I xsetroot
+until you find a personalized look that you like, then put the
+.I xsetroot
+command that produces it into your X startup file.
+If no options are specified, or if
+.I -def
+is specified, the window is reset to its default state. The
+.I -def
+option can be specified along with other options and only the non-specified
+characteristics will be reset to the default state.
+.PP
+Only one of the background color/tiling changing options
+(-solid, -gray, -grey, -bitmap, and -mod) may be specified at a time.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+The various options are as follows:
+.IP "\fB-help\fP"
+Print a usage message and exit.
+.IP "\fB-version\fP"
+Print a version message and exit.
+.IP "\fB-def, -default\fP"
+Reset unspecified attributes to the default values. (Restores the background
+to the familiar gray mesh and the cursor to the hollow x shape.)
+.IP "\fB-cursor\fP \fIcursorfile\fP \fImaskfile\fP"
+This lets you change the pointer cursor to whatever
+you want when the pointer cursor is outside of any window.
+Cursor and mask files are bitmaps (little pictures), and can be made with the
+.I bitmap(1)
+program. You probably want the mask file to be all black until you
+get used to the way masks work.
+.IP "\fB-cursor_name\fP \fIcursorfontname\fP"
+This lets you change the pointer cursor to one of the standard
+cursors from the cursor font. Refer to appendix B of the X protocol for
+the names (except that the XC_ prefix is elided for this option).
+.IP "\fB-xcf\fP \fIcursorfile\fP \fIcursorsize\fP"
+This lets you change the pointer cursor to one loaded from an Xcursor file
+as defined by libXcursor, at the specified size.
+.IP "\fB-bitmap\fP \fIfilename\fP"
+Use the bitmap specified in the file to set the window pattern. You can
+make your own bitmap files (little pictures) using the
+.I bitmap(1)
+program. The entire background will be made up of repeated "tiles" of
+the bitmap.
+.IP "\fB-mod\fP \fIx\fP \fIy\fP"
+This is used if you want a plaid-like grid pattern on your screen.
+x and y are integers ranging from 1 to 16. Try the different combinations.
+Zero and negative numbers are taken as 1.
+.IP "\fB-gray, -grey\fP"
+Make the entire background gray (Easier on the eyes).
+.IP "\fB-bg, -background\fP \fIcolor\fP"
+Use ``color'' as the background color.
+.IP "\fB-fg, -foreground\fP \fIcolor\fP"
+Use ``color'' as the foreground color. Foreground and background colors
+are meaningful only in combination with -cursor, -bitmap, or -mod.
+.IP "\fB-rv, -reverse\fP"
+This exchanges the foreground and background colors. Normally the foreground
+color is black and the background color is white.
+.IP "\fB-solid\fP \fIcolor\fP"
+This sets the background of the root window to the specified color. This
+option is only useful on color servers.
+.IP "\fB-name\fP \fIstring\fP"
+Set the name of the root window to ``string''. There is no default value.
+Usually a name is assigned to a window so that the
+window manager can use a text representation when the window is iconified.
+This option is unused since you can't iconify the background.
+.IP "\fB-d, -display\fP \fIdisplay\fP"
+Specifies the server to connect to; see \fIX(7)\fP.
