==== Description: ====
ChBg is used for changing destop background pictures with some period. Uses
Raster's Imlib2 and Gtk+-2.0 libraries for loading pictures, that means - you
can load any picture format supported by those libraries. ChBg can display
pictures in ten modes - tiled pictures, tiled mirrored pictures, integer
tiled, integer mirrored, center tiled, symmetrical tiled, symetrical
mirrored, maximized picture, cenetred picture with selected background color,
and smart mode which displays centered scaled image with specified growing
ratio and maximal taken area of screen. Each picture should have own settings
for mode and period.
ChBg have nice configuration UI writen by using of GTK+2x libraries. Can
handle configuration files simply created by graphical setup or can by
started by using of commandline parameters.
ChBg now can act as screensaver (use -screesaver option) or can be used as
xscreensaver hack (use option -xscreensaver). ChBg can do slideshow of
pictures in own toplevel window , or you can redirect it to foreign windown
with known windowid.
ChBg have very good picture viewing facilities with thumbnail previews and
slideshow option. From thumbanil preview windows you can remove, rename,
scale selected images or change formats of selected images.
Chbg support pictures with full alpha transparency when compiled with
Imlib2.
ChBg supports three level composition of background pictures. On bottom level
you can have tiled pictures optionaly shaded with one of several hundrets
shading effects. In second higher level you can have any picture renderd in
smart mode or centerd picture. And in third level you can have banner
picture. All this composition support alpha chanels present in pictures. See
example in screenshots page.
Is supported generation of pictures into file. That helps to get ChBg running
with KDE2 and Natilus, because both paint tha desktop becaground with own
settings and it is not possible simply force this programs to use background
set to X desktop directly.
The original Homepage is:
http://chbg.sf.net
Were removed all old dependencies to Gnome 1.x, Imlib 1.x, gdkpixpuf, and
others. Chbg 2.0 has support just for Imlib2 and GTK+2.
