NAME¶
nitrogen - X11 background previewer and setter
SYNOPSIS¶
nitrogen [ OPTIONS ] DIRECTORY?
DESCRIPTION¶
In normal working mode, provides an interface which displays all pictures in the
given DIRECTORY. From this interface, it is possible to set the X11 root
pixmap either temporarily or set and store the picture, drawing mode, and X
display for restoration later. If no directory is specified, it uses the
stored directories in your "library" (as of 1.5). See the
Preferences dialog.
When the --restore option is passed, nitrogen sets all backgrounds that it has a
configuration for and exits immediatly, for use in an .xinitrc or .xsession
file.

- --no-recurse
- Do not recurse into subdirectories of DIRECTORY.
- --restore
