--- Begin Message ---Package: hsetroot Version: 1.0.2-5+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I tried to switch from xsetroot to hsetroot, but was basically unable to set a solid backgorund colour with it without a lot of guessing. Turns out, hsetroot uses a nonstandard and undocumented format for color names. I tried the following standard X colors, mostly to no avail: $ hsetroot -solid black Bad color (black) $ hsetroot -solid '#000' Bad color (#000) $ hsetroot -solid 'rgb:0/0/0' Bad color (rgb:0/0/0) $ hsetroot -solid '#000000' [works] It seems hsetroot practically doesn't understand any of the standard X color specifications but somehow rolls it's own format. Ideally, it of course should accept the same colour specifications as other X programs, but at the very least, the accepted colour formats should be documented in the manpage, as the X documentation clearly doesn't apply. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages hsetroot depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libimlib2 1.5.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 hsetroot recommends no packages. hsetroot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
